Paul Hobbs CrossBarn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
A true second label, CrossBarn is culled from the same vineyards as Hobbs’ estate wine. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged twenty months in French and American oak barrels, the Crossbarn 2013 Cabernet is bottled both unfined and unfiltered. Awesome juice from a winemaking paragon. previous vintage 91 Points Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon Crossbarn is a gorgeous, fruit-driven wine bursting with dark red fruit, new leather, spices and licorice. Expressive aromatics are woven throughout in this beautifully delineated, entry-level Cabernet. The final blend includes 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Hobbs uses a touch of American oak for this Crossbarn label. The main vineyards are State Lane and Mast, both in Yountville"

Excellent blend (80% cab, 16% merlot and 4% cab franc) from Napa (Paul Hobbs). Complex, low tannins and acidity, full bodied, tones of vanilla, blackberry, dark cherries and plum. Long lasting in the mouth and super smooth and well balanced. 2013 was a great vintage in Napa and this wine is a good represantation of it.

PnP. Medium purple color. Dark fruit, licorice, rhubarb, and perfume. Quite lovely. Decent tannins and more Rhubarb and dirt covered roots/beets on the palate. Unique and complex. Medium minus depth and strong finish. 92.5.

1hr+ decant. Solid Cab. Decent amount of oak paired with dark cherries and graphite. Seemed a bit restrained as depth and finish were medium minus.

Bangin in the 2013 magnum. Big fruit still but lots of cherry smoke and pepper as it opened. Two decanters, the last of the 2nd bottle dump was fabulous.
