Paul Hobbs is a juggernaut in the wine world. It doesn't seem to matter where he makes wine, or with what grape; anything he makes is simply fantastic! The Crossbarn lineup of wines is the second label to his eponymous Paul Hobbs wines from Napa and Sonoma, yet it comes close to its "bigger brother". In fact, this wine was called "a hidden gem" by critic Antonio Galloni! Produced using hand-harvested fruit from carefully selected vineyards in prime areas in Sonoma County, the wine is complimented with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, then aged for 18 months in French oak.
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "Coming mostly from Alexander Valley fruit, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon pours a dark but transparent ruby red, and its aromatics are ripe with notes of red plum, mocha, and fresh earth. It delivers gushing fruit up front, with kirsch, tea leaf, and gravelly earth. Its ripe tannins turn a touch drying on the finish, but this is an outstanding wine with a ton of value. Drink over the next few years."
