Hoo Doo Red - Santa Barbara County - Red Table Wine

Hoo Doo Red - Santa Barbara County - Red Table Wine Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: Our 2002 Hoo Doo Red continues to evolve and become a finer wine with each new vintage. The blend for our 2002 bottling is 53% Syrah and 47% Cabernet Franc from the same vineyards that produced our Syrah and Blues Cuvee bottlings. All the component wines were aged for an average of 16 months in a blend of French (75%) and American (25%) oak barrels. The wines were lightly fined in the barrels to remove any excess harsh tannins, and then blended a few weeks prior to being bottled. This wine has the power of fruit and moderate tannins that are not generally found in wines in this price range. The wine will benefit from three to five years of additional bottle age, if the consumer wishes to cellar a few bottles.
