Paul Hobbs 2021 Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$39.99
Paul Hobbs 2021 Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
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.
94 Points James Suckling: "A juicy and flavorful red with real Napa character from vineyards in Calistoga and Coombsville. Medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. Currant and hints of mint. But reserved and focused. Shows tension. Drink or hold."
93 Points Wine Spectator: "An alluring red, with a menthol note out front, followed by a slow-moving core of boysenberry and blackberry reduction flavors. Shows ample anise and bramble through the grippy, toasty finish, where the menthol note takes an encore. Best from 2025 through 2035."
92 Points Robert Parker: "Blended from Coombsville and Calistoga fruit, Crossbarn's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a terrific bargain, made by Paul Hobbs. It's purple-fruited, with scents of cassis, blackberries and blueberries framed by hints of vanilla and cedar on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with a long, softy dusty finish. With just 8% new French oak—the bulk of the barrels are second and third use—the quality of the fruit really shines through. It's a good example of what can still be achieved in Napa at a reasonable price."
...A sub-label of Paul Hobbs, Crossbarn produces two Cabernet Sauvignons—one from Sonoma County (a blend of Moon Mountain and Alexander Valley fruit) and one from Napa Valley (sourced from several different AVAs).
