Producer

Producer

Paul Hobbs' vineyard stretches across varied soils, ranging from rich clays to well-drained sands, creating an ideal environment for Cabernet Sauvignon. climat The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, allows for optimal grape ripening, preserving their acidity and aroma. Each plot is carefully cultivated to express the best of its terroir, guaranteeing high-quality grapes.

Owner and history

Paul Hobbs, the founder and current owner, is a winemaker renowned for his expertise and passion. After studying viticulture and oenology, he worked at prestigious estates in California and Argentina before founding his own domaine. His commitment to authenticity and quality is reflected in every bottle produced. With a philosophy focused on respecting the terroir and innovation, Paul Hobbs continues to inspire and delight wine lovers worldwide.

Vinification and aging

The pioneering winemaker Paul Hobbs founded his domaine eponymous in Sebastopol, California, in 1991. Guided by his vision and his desire to showcase the terroir, the domaine constantly refines its winemaking art by favoring minimal intervention practices and meticulous vineyard management. The volcanic and stony soils, characteristic of our domaine and the Coombsville AVA, impart a distinct minerality to the region's wines. domaine Nathan Coombs contains volcanic tuff—a sedimentary rock composed of compacted volcanic ash—as well as igneous rocks, formed by the cooling of magma. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in these stony, well-drained soils, producing wines with complex and elegant fruit aromas.
