Paul Hobbs Chardonnay George Menini Estate Russian River Valley

The delicate pale straw color of this vintage belies the complexity of the nose, with layers of tart apple and bright citrus zest wrapped in beautiful gardenia aromas. On the palate, citrus zest evolves into richer Meyer lemon, seamlessly integrated with oyster shell minerality and the salinity of an ocean breeze. Energy from the cool Sebastopol Hills site carries through the long, vibrant finish.
