Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Crossbarn is a stand-alone brand that serves as the second label for international winemaker Paul Hobbs. As a result, Crossbarn wines are always solid, worth their price and good dinner companions, which is certainly the case here. If you are not looking for a lot of complexity but good structure and flavors, this Pinot Noir will deliver fully. It has dark fruity aromas that are a bit closed at first but gradually opens up. It has solid cherry flavors, just a hint of Pinot rootiness and dusty tannins. I should also note that well-balanced, well-structured wines like this will hold their flavors for years in the cellar, filling that slot when you want a good 10-year-old wine for dinner but don’t want to raid your treasure chest.---- Roger Morris" - 91/100, Wine Review Online
