Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2020 Sonoma Coast Cabernet Sauvignon

Opaque, brilliant garnet in the glass, the 2020 vintage's select Sonoma County vineyard sites lend balance and unique savory elements that set this wine apart. Dynamic aromas of elderberry, blackberry, Bing cherry, and fresh mint emerge, giving way to focused flavors of black currant, cassis, and dried herbs. The plush mouthfeel, laced with well-integrated tannins, leads into a long, mouthwatering finish.

Blend: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot

Critical Acclaim

92pts Jeb Dunnuck
Coming mostly from Alexander Valley fruit, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon pours a dark but transparent ruby red, and its aromatics are ripe with notes of red plum, mocha, and fresh earth. It delivers gushing fruit up front, with kirsch, tea leaf, and gravelly earth. Its ripe tannins turn a touch drying on the finish, but this is an outstanding wine with a ton of value. Drink over the next few years.

Lovely cabernet nose with currant and lavender aromas and flavors. Medium body, light tannins and fruit. Easy and focused.
