2021 Paul Hobbs "Katherine Lindsay Estate" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

“The deep ruby/purple 2021 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate offers aromas of kirsch, lavender, and mossy earth that soar from the glass. Full-bodied, with a silky texture and ripe tannins, it’s layered with a plush, supple texture throughout. Approachable and cuddly, with pure black raspberry liqueur, forest floor, and bergamot on the finish, It’s ripe and elegant, with a balance of richness and freshness throughout. (AF)” (07/2023)

“Black cherry, orange peel, lavender, and black cherry aromas. Full-bodied with firm tannins that are polished, chewy and long in the finish. Lovely length and focus. Give it three to four years.” (06/2023)

“Vividly ripe and streamlined, with a gorgeous beam of mulberry and blackberry puree driving through, plus subtle notes of graphite, black tea and applewood. The long finish shows cut and drive, with a mouthwatering mineral note chiming at the very end. (JM)” (02/2024)

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate is a very pretty, effusive wine that will be ready to drink upon release. Sweet floral and spice top notes give this mid-weight, approachable Pinot tons of charm as dark red/purplish fruit gradually opens in the glass. This is one of the more understated Pinots in the range in 2021. (AG)” (08/2023)

“A big, powerful Pinot with intense ripe dark fruits and a touch of raisins. Very generous with warming alcohol and integrated oak. Creamy, round and full, delivering an impactful punch. (Panel Tasting)” (12/2023)
