Wine Details
Price:
$19.00 per bottle
Description:
Bright, juicy, tangy and mouth-filling. Sour cherry and sweet candied fruit combine with boysenberry and blueberry to tantalize your taste buds. Barbera ripens late in the season and prolonged heat spell in 2003 allowed us to let the fruit hang on the vine for a slow and complete maturation. Our very ripe fruit balances Barbera's naturally high acidity creating a soft, lush wine. Fruit-driven you can drink it now or cellar it for up to five years. Grown on steep, north facing slopes, the vineyards yielded approximately 4 tons per acre. The juice spent 15 days on the skins and was fermented with native yeasts. The wine was pressed-off into barrels, using only 20% new oak to preserve its delicate fruit character. Aged for nine months in French barrels.
