Paul Hobbs Richard Dinner Vineyard Chardonnay(2001)

2001
Paul Hobbs Chardonnay,
Richard Dinner Vineyard

Winemaker's Notes
Yellow-gold in color with Aromas of golden delicious apple, toast, almond and Pastry dough. On the nicely balanced palate, the wine is rich and refined with silky forward flavors of crème brulee and apple, and shows a signature mineral component. The beautiful creamy finish seems never-ending. Alcohol 14.7%

Pale straw color; aromas of ripe pear, apple, fig and pure citrus; flavors are focused and structured; orange peel and creme caramel are accented by rich vanilla bean, toasty oak, infused with a subtle note of minerality. The mid-palate is broad and firm with a smooth, velvety texture resulting in a long, clean finish. This powerful and elegant wine is the perfect accompaniment to oysters or even sushi. Alcohol 14.4%
