Raised with 30% new French oak, this 2022 vintage captures the cool-climate elegance and vibrant acidity that make Russian River Valley Chardonnay a benchmark for the style. Meticulous care in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar yield a wine of remarkable purity, tension, and depth — earning 94 points from James Suckling and 93 from three additional top critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is bright and inviting: sliced apples, cream, honeyed citrus, fresh salted pineapple, tangerine peel, and white flowers. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy, lithe texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, flavorful finish of peach, apricot, and spiced oak. A beautiful introduction to the Paul Hobbs range — and a wine with a wide window for enjoyment over the next 7–8 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Suckling 94 • Jeb Dunnuck 93 • Vinous 93 • Wine Spectator 93 — \"Full-bodied with plenty of fruit and a creamy texture that shows tension and intensity.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Reviews – Vintage 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling 94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e | The fruit in this is very beautiful, with sliced apples, cream and hints of stone.
