CrossBarn by Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir 2012

Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesPencil, plum, beetroot and cherry cola aromas open this full pinot noir, with grapes sourced from across the Sonoma Coast. After 15 days of maceration with native and cultured yeast, the wine rested ten months in oak barrels (10 percent new). The smoothed, round palate is prickled with spicy wood, ripe raspberry, figs, sweet tobacco and black cherry jam. Tannins are supple, acidity is moderate and the finish is vanilla cherries. Pour this ripe style with figgy pork or Moroccan spiced lamb.Tasted: 19 June 2015Tasted by: Prices:
