Bright and aromatic on the nose, this wine features notes of tea rose, sun-warmed berries, and spice. On the palate, the wine is fresh yet richly layered with notes of ripe blackberry and nutmeg. The wine’s juicy acidity and lively finish are lengthened by a light grip of of tannins. Food-friendly and highly versatile.
This wine is terrific with pizza, herbed poultry and game, and roasted root vegetables.
The grapes for the 2019 Barbera are sourced 100% from our estate Home Ranch Vineyard in Alexander Valley. Long, warm days aided by the absence of marine influence marks this site. The soils are composed of clay and clay loam with underlying layers of basalt, sandstone and serpentine rock. Vines are challenged by the low nutrient level of the clay and the shallow topsoil, which both force them to produce more concentrated fruit.
