-- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2007 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Ulises Valdez....$66.99

"Revealing a distinctive meaty, herbal character, the full-bodied, rich, Burgundian-styled 2007 Pinot Noir Ulises Valdez Vineyard exhibits plenty of red and black fruits, a foresty component, and a sweet, beefy juiciness to its texture and flavors. It, too, should drink nicely for 7-8 years."

Rated 92-94/100 The Wine Advocate

2007 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River....$43.99

"The generic 2007 Pinot Noir Russian River is an outstanding example of Hobbs’ meticulous vineyard sourcing and winemaking. With copious sweet forest floor, plum, black cherry, and earthy notes, a luscious, medium to full-bodied texture, and a long finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. The good news is there are over 2,000 cases of this wine."

Rated 91-93/100 The Wine Advocate

2007 Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Russian River....$43.99

"The generic 2007 Chardonnay Russian River exhibits plenty of lemon and orange blossoms as well as hints of pineapple, oak, and earth. Full-bodied with abundant opulence and flavors, it should drink nicely for 3-4 years."

Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate

2007 Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Richard Dinner....$63.99

"The 2007 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard reveals more earth, crushed rock, and tropical fruit (pineapple, orange marmalade, and peach) notes as well as admirable depth, medium to full body, well-integrated smoky oak, and a long finish."

Rated 92-93/100 The Wine Advocate

2006 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane....$146.99

"From another outstanding vineyard, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard’s scorched earth/burning ember, blueberry, graphite, and black currant characteristics are reminiscent of a top Bordeaux such as La Mission Haut-Brion. Dense, full-bodied and chewy with fabulous concentration, sweet tannins, and remarkable length, this profound Cabernet Sauvignon should last for 25-30 years."

Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
