History

Not everyone starts their wine drinking career with a taste of 1962 Chateau D'Yquem but, as a youngster, Paul Hobbs’ passion for wine was ignited when his father brought home a bottle of this very wine and poured it into paper cups for all the family to taste. After heading up the team at Opus One, and establishing the Chardonnay programme at Catena, Paul founded his own winery in 1991.

 

Named most influential winemaker in California and receiving the magical 100 point score from Robert Parker, Paul Hobbs has shot to fame for crafting wines that are truly remarkable for their balance, intensity and sense of place.Terroir-driven Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon are the focus at Paul Hobbs Winery, and the wines on offer this year deliver the exceptional levels of finesse and personality.

Vineyards

Meticulous vineyard management followed by minimally-invasive winemaking techniques allows us to produce wines that express their vineyard origins with finesse, complexity and authenticity. Paul Hobbs wines are fermented with native yeasts, aged in French oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Winemaking

Our focus is crafting small production vineyard designate wines from distinctive growing sites.

As custodians of the earth, we respect Mother Nature and farm our estate vineyards sustainably to produce wines that reflect a sense of place. The idea is that when visitors walk among our vines they can feel the fog, catch the scent of the soil, touch the tiny berries and taste in the finished wine a connection with these elements.

Inside information

Paul Hobbs fell in love with Argentina on his first visit in 1988. The potential he saw in the terroir and especially in the human element, spurred his consulting career.


Paul Hobbs Selections was founded in 1994 to bring to the US some of the wines he had a hand in creating.  In 1998, Paul founded Viña Cobos with partners Andrea Marchiori and Luis Barraud to explore the true character of malbec and the expressions of different Mendoza growing areas through Cobos, Bramare and Felino.

 

In 2009, the portfolio expanded to include like-minded producers. Our search for quality-obsessed, estate-driven and family-owned wineries that would complement Viña Cobos has led us to work with a select group of wineries from Argentina, Chile, Canada and France who work closely with Paul to represent a diverse selection of high-quality, terroir-representative wines in the US market.
