2007 Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard Cuvée Agustina
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 93
Bright gold. Exotically perfumed aromas of passion fruit, melon, pear skin, iodine and smoky lees. Stains the palate with deep orchard and exotic fruit flavors and picks up a sexy floral quality on the back end. The spiciness comes on strong on the finish, which is broad, sweet and strikingly powerful. This could handle the richest shellfish or poultry dishes.Author: Josh RaynoldsIssue: May/June 2009Wine Spectator | Rating: 91
Smooth, ripe and elegant, this is rich with full-bodied flavors of smoky fig, melon, honeysuckle and apple, picking up a touch of butterscotch on the elegant, lingering finish.Author: James Laube

When Paul Hobbs founded his eponymous winery in 1991, he set out to produce small lot, hand-crafted, vineyard designate wines. He began with just three - one Chardonnay, one Pinot Noir and one Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the years, the small family of wines has grown to over a dozen as numerous new and historic vineyards have captured Hobbs' attention since that first vintage. The current wines are the result of years of perseverance, patience and experimentation in Hobbs' continuing adventure with wine. It is his great hope that the fruit-driven, complex wines he makes with his dedicated team will continue to appeal to many people around the globe.
