2020 Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Winemaker Notes: Sourced from prime sites in Alexander Valley and Moon Mountain District, this garnet colored Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully encapsulates the breadth of Sonoma County with aromas of forest fruits, dark chocolate shavings, and a hint of dried herbs. Plush red fruits burst on the palate with a touch of cassis, supported by fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "A medium-bodied red with black berries and blackcurrants with some chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. So delicious and velvety structured. Delicious finish. Drink or hold."
Wine Spectator - "Lush and fruity, with a wave of plum puree and mulberry fruit cruising along, flanked by apple wood and licorice. Reveals subtle sweet bay leaf accents. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."
Decanter - "Exceedingly brooding with a whiff of black liquorice, dried violets, and charcuterie. Medium-bodied and leading with black cherry, spiced plums, a pop of menthol, and granular tannins that resolve on a fairly short, dry finish. Certainly, one to drink alongside your best barbecue."
