Paul Hobbs CrossBarn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
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"

Pretty nice balance and easy finish; maybe a little heavy on the acid side of things; not as full/rounded as the 2017 Stonestreet Estate Vineyard Cab we had the other night.

Gentle and unbold. No problems but also no sparks. It was fine.

Red fruit, red cherries, raspberries, leather and graphite. Very nice, needed to breathe some. Food friendly, even better with cheese and salami
