CROSSBARN CHARDONNAY 2022

CrossBarn Chardonnay 2022
by CrossBarn by Paul Hobbs

A beautifully balanced, modern California Chardonnay that leans into freshness and elegance rather than heaviness — refined, expressive, and crafted with a strong sense of place.

Style & Vineyard Character

• Sourced from cool-climate coastal and valley sites in Northern California

• Partial barrel fermentation for texture and complexity

• Focus on purity of fruit, natural acidity, and restrained oak

This is a Chardonnay built in a Burgundian-inspired style — layered but vibrant, creamy yet mineral.

Tasting Notes (2022 Vintage)

Nose
Lemon zest, green apple, ripe pear, white peach, subtle vanilla, toasted almond, crushed stone

Palate
Fresh and silky — citrus and orchard fruit wrapped in gentle creaminess, bright acidity, and a refined mineral core

Finish
Clean, long, and elegant with lingering citrus and soft oak spice

Drinking Window

Delicious now and will continue to evolve gracefully for 6–10 years, gaining nutty and honeyed notes with time.

Food Pairing

Excellent with:

• Scallops, lobster, and shellfish

• Grilled seabass or Dover sole

• Roast chicken with herbs

• Creamy risotto or mushroom dishes

• Soft and semi-aged cheeses

Why It Stands Out

• Crafted with the precision associated with the Paul Hobbs team

• Fresh, food-friendly style rather than heavy oak

• Appeals to both Burgundy lovers and California Chardonnay fans

In Summary

Elegant, vibrant, and beautifully textured — CrossBarn Chardonnay 2022 delivers modern California finesse with brightness and depth. A superb white for tastings, dinners, and premium wine lists.
