Tasting Notes

Bright red cherry and tobacco with earthy characteristics. This Barbera has an extractive full center with soft drinkability. Delightful to pair with all things chocolate or a steak tartare.

100% from Amador County. Amador County is extremely well suited to Barbera. Barbera both buds out earlier and ripens later than Zinfandel producing grapes at lower pH with full bright varietal fruit. Amador County is rapidly becoming known as the best wine growing region in the world for Barbera.

Winemaking

The 2019 vintage was a vintage defined by a cool snap during flowering in the mountain vineyards that resulted in a drop of 50% in the fruit yield, but a much more extracted and complex character in the fruit due to the lower yields.
