Paul Hobbs 2018 Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
6714062598
$ 49.99
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"

Paul Hobbs 2020 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
$ 64.99
Another fabulous Chardonnay from Paul Hobbs. Get the new release while it's available.
94 Points Robert Parker: "The barrel sample of Paul Hobbs Chardonnay is exuberant with baked apples and guava aromas loaded with honeyed undertones. The medium-bodied palate is rounded and very fresh, its gregarious fruits lifted by juicy acidity that carries the long finish. This is currently resting in stainless steel and is due to be bottled in January 2021."
94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Leading off the Chardonnay from Paul Hobbs, the Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Russian River Valley reveals a light gold hue as well as a classic, cleanly perfumed bouquet of honeyed citrus, crushed stone, white flowers, and brioche, with just a hint of toasted almond emerging with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, fresh, and lively on the palate, it gains more and more minerality as it sits in the glass. It’s flawlessly balanced, with an incredible mix of rich, ripe fruit and racy, bright acidity as well as outstanding length. This white is well worth searching out, and I would rank it with one of the top, base appellation blends in the vintage."
93 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Paul HobbsChardonnay (Russian River Valley) is fabulous. Creamy, open-knit and so expressive, the 2019 has a ton to offer. Apricot, baked apple tart, pastry and light tropical accents all run through this wonderfully inviting Chardonnay."
...Paul Hobbs is undoubtedly one of the world’s finest consultants, and as Americans we’re lucky to have this New York State-born winemaking guru right in the heart of the Russian River, turning out a bevy of wines from both Napa and the following items from their estate vineyards in Sonoma as well as from purchased fruit. Hobbs has a separate entity now, which is aimed at producing good value wines under the Cross Barn by Paul Hobbs moniker. There’s some juicy, high-quality stuff in these cuvées."
