Estate-grown Barbera, blended with 15% Old Vine Zinfandel, 4% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre, and 2% Petite Sirah from neighboring Amador County vineyards. Aged for 14 months in small French oak barrels (20% new, 80% neutral), this wine showcases both vibrant freshness and layered complexity.
Aromas of ripe blueberry and blackberry lead, unfolding into notes of plum, vanilla, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, bright Bing cherry, pomegranate, and blackberry take center stage, followed by rich flavors of blueberry, raspberry, and sweet berry cobbler. Hints of French oak add elegance and depth, with soft vanilla woven throughout.
The finish is long and lingering, marked by balanced acidity and refined structure that beautifully complements the wine’s complex fruit profile. Fresh, expressive, and versatile, this Barbera offers exceptional enjoyment now and continued promise with age.
