Paul Hobbs Wines, Crossbarn Cabernet SauvignonV

Wine Notes

Paul Hobbs is, without doubt a superstar of Californian and, indeed Argentinian wine. He has famously been called the ‘Steve Jobs’ of wine by Forbes magazine and it is clear he is a driven perfectionist whose hard work has paid off with numerous 100 points scores from the critics.

Capturing the diversity and complexity from the region, this displays a dark ruby hue with aromas of crushed violets, graphite, and blueberry. A burst of liquorice and boysenberry are revealed on the palate carried along by bright savoury spices and mineral notes that persist throughout. Polished tannins kick in giving the wine a soft texture along with a lively acidity that gives the wine a clean, extended finish. Perfect with lamb shanks, casserole and game bird.
