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