Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon

Farm life instills in one a deep sense of respect for family a love of the 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.
