2021 Barbera

Sonoma Valley

Tasting Notes

This Barbera offers a beautiful deep ruby color in the glass. On the nose, aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and violet mingle with hints of vanilla and spice from the oak aging. On the palate, this wine has a medium body with bright acidity. Red fruit flavors dominate, with a subtle hint of earthy minerality and a touch of oak spice. The tannins are firm yet silky, providing structure and complexity to the wine's long and satisfying finish.

Winemaker Notes

Once harvested we crush into glycol jacketed stainless steel tanks to begin fermentation. We heat up to an ideal fermentation temperature and perform pumpovers at least twice a day during primary fermentation. Once primary fermentation is complete we barrel the wine down to French oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. the wine is racked a couple of times to "clean up" the wine and allow homogenous blending then put back down to French oak and allow the wine to age till ready for bottling.
