*Vintage may vary by location*

Vibrant ruby in color, the wine is bursting with aromas of juicy pomegranate, bing cherry, and rhubarb, with hints of earl grey tea and cinnamon. Elegantly layered notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, and fennel fronds create a harmonious and lifted palate accented by a delicate acidity and a subtle salinity, which hearkens to its source along the Sonoma Coast.

Farm life instills in one a deep sense of respect for family, a love of land and the joys of collaborative effort. Our CrossBarn wines are a reflection of these ideals and of our commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and gentle winemaking techniques. The "cross barn" was nestled in the middle of our one hundred fifty year old family farm in upstate New York. A favorite haunt for my siblings and me, it took on a life of its own and remains in our memories as a place of great mystery and adventure.

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.
