Cabernet Sauvignon – Paul Hobbs Cross Barn Napa 750ml

Tasting Note: Even better news is the Crossbarn 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa … this is a brilliant wine from Hobbs. There is a little Merlot and Cabernet Franc in the blend, but it reflects this great vintage, revealing blueberry, blackberry and cassis as well as some licorice, incense, and forest floor. The wine has full-bodied opulence, a sumptuous mouthfeel, and is just a terrific, savory, expansive Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 15 or more years. Score – 93.
