Barra of Mendocino Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
On the palate, the layered flavors of black currant, cocoa and espresso give way to notes of roasted nuts and baked blackberry pie. Supple, rounded tannins provide for a balanced mouthfeel and an elegant, velvety finish.
The Barra family has a long ancestral history as growers of fine wine grapes, beginning in France and Italy, then migrating to California (Mendocino County) in the early 1900's. All of the grapes for this wine were estate grown and handpicked from family owned vineyards. The Barra family believes that their organic viticulture practices, coupled with rich soils and cool climate of the Mendocino appellation, make the greatest contribution to the excellence of this wine. Enjoy, and salute!

| This wine opens with an aromatic nose of ripe pear, vanilla, banana and warm caramel notes. On the palate, its richness is balanced by refreshing acidity and delicate accents of peach, fresh sourdough, and honeysuckle. Captivating flavors of caramel, shortbread and stone fruit round out the palate and leave a long, lingering finish. Editor's Choice. |
