paul hobbs worked with mondavi and opus before going to simi and then starting his eponymous winery in the mid 90's... and thank goodness for spell check
Crossbarn Chardonnay 2012 Sonoma Coast neutral oak and yet surprisingly woody..a little more herbacious than expected
Hobbs Russian River Chardonnay 2011.. not afraid of the oak and yet not over drawn with it either.. very pretty aromas of toast and soft caramel.. nice creamy mouthfeel and long finish. Would never be accused of being french but not over the top
Crossbarn Pinot Noir 2011 pretty color in the glass a touch vegetal on the palate.. cola and tea
Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2011 juicy and full bodied.. great mouthfeel and some tar/tobacco earthy notes on the finish.
