Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir GOLDROCK ESTATE 2018 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2018

James Suckling 97 Points |This is a glorious red with density and compressed character to the mouthfeel. Pure and very focused with crushed berries, orange peel and sandalwood. Edgeless. Exciting. Tight, yet so characterful and great. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points |Coming from a vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the 2018 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate reveals a deeper ruby hue to go with ripe, sexy notes of black raspberries, toasted spices, orange blossom, and violets. It’s a rich, sweetly fruited, plush beauty with ripe tannins, beautiful overall balance, and great finish. This gorgeous wine shows how good 2018 was for Pinot Noir. Its one of the richer, more powerful efforts from the Sonoma Coast.

Wine Spectator 95 Points |Rich and contoured, with ferrous notes to the well-structured red currant, dark cherry and dried blackberry flavors. Supple minerality shows on the spicy finish, where light creamy accents linger. Best from 2021 through 2026.Wine Advocate

The Wine Advocate 94 Points | The 2018 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate has a medium ruby-purple color and is shy to begin, revealing hints of fresh cranberries, tar, blackberries, blood orange and oolong tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is packed with juicy fruits, wrapped in a fresh, silky frame and finishing very long.
