Winemaker Renato Salas Notes
Not your average Barbara.
Velvety Mellow & silky Smooth. A Soft dry delicate red wine, with hints of bitter cherry, chocolate caramel, and a medium to heavy smoky oak. This can be served as a stand alone red, or pair with a meal. Recommended with Chicken, Italian Food, Minestrone, Fontina & Gorgonzola. Dessert: Some Dark bitter chocolate.
Notes from the vineyard:
Renato our wine maker say we have the Best and Most expensive grapes I have ever had the pleasure to produce wine with.
Bill the owner tried to recruit him 5 times to make his wine. 5 times I was turned down. Finally I asked him to come to my vineyard once and if he said no once more, I would never ask again. Once he did, immediately turned and said ...more... , I want to make your wines.
Best fruit I had ever seen. The rest is history.
