When the fruit from this vineyard is handled properly, the resulting wine often flirts with perfection. Hobbs’ 2001 boasts a dense blue\/purple color along with an incredibly pure nose of spice box, cedarwood, creme de cassis, blueberry pie and subtle smoke as well as graphite notes that could easily pass for a first- or second-growth Pauillac. Broad, expansive, full-bodied flavors reveal stunning purity, amazing depth and richness, and a finish that goes on for nearly a minute. Still youthful, but oh, so impressive, it is hard to resist now, but it should be even better in 5-8 years, and keep for 30-40+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brilliant Paul Hobbs has fashioned a quartet of beautiful wines, one fully mature and the other three revealing fabulous potential.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Reviewed by: Robert M.
