"Cooked apple, pie crust, stone, and vanilla bean aromas with hints of flint. Full body. Crunchy fruit with sliced apple. Hints of oak. Dense in the center palate yet firm and focused. Excellent. Drink or hold."

"A medium straw/gold hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Russian River Valley offers up fresh and classic aromas of melon rind, lightly toasted baking spices, and ripe apple. The palate is expressive, with a nice balance of ripeness and saline. Softly textured, with notes of crunchy green apple, ripe tangerine, and salty earth, it’s in a great place now and will drink well over the next 5-6 years."

Wine Spectator

"Seamless and polished, with succulent notes of apricot, peaches, mango and Meyer lemon, plus a touch of Honeycrisp apple at the core. Accents of orange blossom, cardamom and nutmeg linger on the long, expressive finish."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Chardonnay is made with 90% estate fruit, mostly from Paul Hobbs's single-vineyard wines. It opens with some flinty and allspice tones that give way to a core of yellow apples, chamomile and beeswax. The light-bodied palate has a satiny texture and generous, spicy flavors balanced by vibrant acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish."
