Produced using hand-harvested fruit from carefully selected vineyards within the Napa Valley appellation, Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon offers structure and weight in balance with pure, concentrated fruit.
Capturing the diversity and complexity from the region, this vintage displays a dark ruby hue with aromas of crushed violets, boysenberry, and blackberry compote. A burst of dark black fruits is revealed on the palate carried along by dried herbs, graphite, and cacao. Enveloping fine-grained tannins complement the soft textured body along with a lively acidity that gives the wine a clean, lingering finish.
Grapes: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot
94 Tasting Panel A luscious surge of boysenberry and café mocha creates a fabulous first impression for this wine, which is elegant in its approachability. Finely grained tannins offer firm structure as notes of coffee and licorice deepen its formidable character.
93 James Suckling A medium-bodied red with black berries and blackcurrants with some chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. So delicious and velvety structured. Delicious finish. Drink or hold.
91 Wine Spectator Lush and fruity, with a wave of plum puree and mulberry fruit cruising along, flanked by apple wood and licorice. Reveals subtle sweet bay leaf accents. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
