Vinfolio, Mar 2022
This comes from two of the coolest plots on Paul Hobbs’ Goldrock Estate, at the northern reaches of the Sonoma Coast. Given the cool locale, these plots are picked late – 25th to 28th September in 2019. The aromas speak of that long growing season, with softer apricot aromas alongside the taut citrus. The wine is more dominated by spice, toast and minerality, the palate round and creamy, yet with a chalky mineral edge that drives the long finish. 45% new oak for 15 months.
