Our rockstar Wine Trends rep Kerri Breeze dropped in with a twofer-twofer, Old World/New World smackdown, featuring the Languedoc wines of Domaine Laroche and the second label for Napa’s venerable Paul Hobbs:
La Chevaliere Chardonnay 2015. Crisp, lighter-style of Chardonnay with notes of mineral, green apple, citrus and pear. Nice balance of acidity.
La Chevaliere Cabernet Sauvignon 2014. Earthy, medium-bodied with clean red and black fruit aromas and flavors.
Crossbarn Chardonnay 2015. A bit more creaminess than the Laroche, with peaches, melon and vanilla custard. Well-balanced white from Sonoma Coast fruit.
Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon 2013. Full-bodied beauty from Napa Valley, this red gives you black fruits, black pepper and dark baking spices.
