Wine Review: This medium purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Crossbarn is impressive! It opens with a blackberry and boysenberry bouquet with hints of oak, menthol, and nutmeg. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium acidity. The flavor profile is a tasty graphite and black currant blend with notes of black pepper and anise. I also detected hints of black tea in the aftertaste. The finish is rather dry, and its moderate dusty tannins show very good length. This Cab would pair well with a well marbled ribeye steak. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Sourced from prime sites in Alexander Valley and Moon Mountain District, this garnet colored cabernet sauvignon beautifully encapsulates the breadth of Sonoma County with aromas of forest fruits, dark chocolate shavings, and a hint of dried herbs. Plush red fruits burst on the palate with a touch of cassis, supported by fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
