Paul Hobbs Katherine Lindsay Pinot Noir 2018 (750ML)

99 JD / 95 WA

The flagship release, the 2018 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate comes from the Russian River Valley and saw 14% stems and 15 months in 53% new French oak. Medium ruby, with notes of raspberries, spice box, dried cherries, and assorted flowery incense and tea notes, it's wonderfully complex and medium to full-bodied, with seamless tannins and a great finish. Despite coming from the Russian River, it almost has a Sonoma Coast-like style in its perfumed aromatics and beautiful elegance. Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate is a gorgeous wine. It has scents of fresh cranberries, blackberries and oolong tea leaves with touches of dried violets and citrus peel. Medium-bodied, it's surprisingly concentrated in the mouth, packed with perfumed fruits and wrapped in a silky frame, finishing very long. 840 cases produced. Erin Brooks – The Wine Advocate
