CrossBarn Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Gift from Lori. Dave and I enjoyed with Rib caps. Smooth and not overly alcoholic. Nice berry and a little funk.

Good structure nice fruit

Lemon citrus Rhubarb and Strawberry Vanilla and slightly carbonic spritzi with soft tannins. Nice bottle perfect for hot weather.

Full-bodied. Blueberries, blackberries, cassis, and chocolate. Fabulous bouquet and a nice finish. Very satisfying and drinking well now.

Prune et du cêdre! 🤗

Showed better than expected. Decanted briefly and it was bright red fruit forward; red currant, raspberry, wild berries. With some time and air, it opened up nicely and showed graphite, charcoal, bay leaf, and some rich soil.

@TheSkip Another one to try in warmer weather! Can't say much about other vintages, but the 13 showed nicely

Full bodied with dark fruit and hints of oak and a very nice finish

@ £34 this PH is a stonkin' bargain that's good now but will improve 👍 on its way to 92-94 on QPR
