For thirty-five years, Paul Hobbs Wines has produced meticulously crafted wines. From vineyard to cellar, no detail is too small or unimportant. Paul Hobbs’ international experience and pioneering approach to identifying exceptional vineyard has made him a leader on the world stage in helping refine the art of site-specific viticulture and precision, minimalistic winemaking. Our single-vineyard wines are made to express their distinct origins—fermented indigenously, finished to bottle unfined / unfiltered—these wines exemplify the pinnacle of the craft. Through enduring partnerships with a small cadre of growers and a focus on small production, our estate grown Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon are thoughtfully shaping the future of winemaking. We invite passionate, quality driven, dedicated individuals to be participants in our mission.
