A scrumptious blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot that is barrel aged in 8% new French oak for about 18 months. The inky, opaque purple-colored 2020 Crossbarn Cabernet from Napa is a value-priced wine with Napa Valley fruit that’s packed with potential. Loaded with notions of boysenberry, black plum, creme de cassis, pencil shavings, baking chocolate, and spicy pink peppercorn, it’s lusciously full-bodied and dense on the palate. The surprising purity of fruit, with plenty of acidity and tannins, shines forth on the palate. Editors choice.
