Paul Hobbs CrossBarn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
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 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"

Deep purple. Ripe yet fresh fruit dominates with a solid oak finish. A solid wine for the price, especially for a 2017. Medium tannins, medium- acidity.

Dark. Full, dry, nice tannins. Blackberry and currants with a hint of acidity on the finish.

Nice refrained and balanced Napa Cab from one of the great producers. Give this one about 30 minutes to open up and you will get tons of fruit on the palate, high tannins and medium plus acid. Wine is balanced with flavors that linger for a long time.

New label. Don’t like it. Reminds me of low cost wine labels. Wine inside is still worth opening the cork though.
