We make this cider the same way we approach our wines: with organically farmed fruit, minimal intervention, and a focus on place. For this release, we sourced primarily Gravensteins and Kings from two almost forgotten orchards. One deep in the Sonoma Coast near Fort Ross that dates back to the 1800s and another in the Green Valley area of Sebastopol planted in the 1960s. A few buckets of pears and quince found their way into the blend as well. We have always been fans of the clean apple-forward gently sparkling Normandy style and have tried to emulate that with a California sensibility here.
Each bottle was Tirage bottled by hand with a three spout filler, settled for 7 months, and then disgorged by hand one at a time. The amount of sediment will vary quite a bit from bottle to bottle.
Specs

We began the namesake Hobo Wine Company in 2002. My dad didn’t think it was a very good name for a wine company and many people have shared his sentiment over the years, but it has always felt right to us so we have braved on with it.
Hobo is all Sonoma County. I was raised in Sonoma County. After a lot of searching around, I have chosen to raise my two daughters here as well.
As a grape growing region, there is so much to explore and experiment with here. Many sub AVAs have characters and qualities that make a Sonoma County brand able to evolve and stay exciting. Primarily, we have focused on Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. More recently, we have added an Aglianico to experiment with what might be the future.
