Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Quite a distinguished Cabernet. Shows its pedigree in ultra-refined tannins and an overall mouthfeel of lushness and finesse. Flavor-wise, it’s all black currants, blueberries and sweet, smoky oak. Thirty-five dollars isn’t cheap, but this is as good as it gets in this price bracket.

Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $35
A beautiful Pinot Noir. Plays in the major leagues, with its refined texture and complex flavors of cherries, raspberries, licorice and sandalwood, with a long, spicy finish. The most notable feature is the structure. Feels so lush and fine, so delectable, so dramatic. This is one of the best Pinots available for drinking now.

Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $40
A lovely Napa Cabernet, marked by ripe, rich flavors of blackberry and black currant and the smoky toast of oak barrel aging. Dry and tannic, it’s a soothing, upscale Cabernet to drink over the next few years.

Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2009 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Oaky and strong in jammy fruit, this Chardonnay has potent pineapple, tropical fruit and buttered caramel popcorn flavors. It’s also quite acidic. Would benefit from greater control and nuance.

Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2010 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Vintages of this wine have been variable, and this 2010 is like the so-so 2009, which earned the same score. It’s an okay Pinot Noir, dry and earthy, but rather aggressive in acids and tannins. Ready to drink now.
