Paul Hobbs Winery was founded in 1991 by established winemaking consultant Paul Hobbs. Located in Sebastopol in Sonoma County, the winery specializes in single-vineyard varietal wines made from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Chardonnay. Hobbs already had an impressive resumé as a consultant before establishing his own winery, which has gone on to receive significant recognition.
Paul Hobbs started his career working for Robert Mondavi in 1978, and was involved with the creation of Opus One – the collaboration between Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of the Bordeaux first growth Mouton Rothschild. Hobbs consulted with Simi Winery and championed the Argentinian wine industry while at Bodega Catena Zapata. The connections Hobbs made allowed Paul Hobbs Winery to achieve financing in a difficult period when California was suffering from phylloxera in the early 1990s.

Robert Parker | 97 RP - The 2018 Pinot Noir Cuvée Agustina Katherine Lindsay Estate is a selection of three blocks, normally composed of Calera and Swan clone fruit, but Paul Hobbs says, "This year, we included a bit of 115 clone instead of just using the heritage clones." The Augustina is an incredibly stunning wine, with a fabulous perfume of violets, lilac and dried herbs accenting a deep core of cherry pie plus notes of cured meats and Earl Grey tea. In the mouth, it offers explosive, concentrated, layered flavors in a satiny frame with lively freshness and a very, very long finish. This will benefit from another three to five years, or more, in bottle. |
