The 2010 Pinot Noir Crossbarn is a pretty, accessible Pinot with lovely varietal fruit, flowers, red berries and spices. It shows terrific delineation, focus and energy in its class. This gorgeous mid-weight Pinot will continue to drink well for the next 2-3 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. This is a dazzling set of Chardonnays and Pinots from Paul Hobbs. The wines are made with native primary and secondary fermentations, aged on their lees and bottled without fining of filtration. Readers may want to check out my video interview with Paul Hobbs on www.eroberparker.com for more details. Vintages 2009 and 2010 are both strong, but I find myself favoring the 2010s for their greater verve and focus. Either way, it is virtually impossible to go wrong with any of these new and upcoming releases.Tel. (707) 824-9879
