CrossBarn Paul Hobbs Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016 Review
This wine has a very ripe nose with a bit of wood mixed in. It's extremely fruity, with lots of blue fruit present, which probably indicates a touch of Syrah was added here. It's a wine that's full bodied and "chewy, " making it the perfect wine for someone who thinks they like Pinot Noir but actually likes Syrah.
