thing to a tradional Asti but cleaner and much more concentrated. This vintage is medium red in color with purple glints; aroma of raspberries with a hint of herbs; palate similar to the Blina but with a broad, meaty quality from the aging in large barrels and good fresh acidity, not to mention a good persistent finish.

Barbera d’Asti is one of the most captivating wines of this varietal we have ever tasted, in fact the first word that comes to mind when this wine hits your palate is simply “DELICIOUS!”
Pomegranate and raspberry notes fill the nose with a good helping of ripe plums and vanilla bean. The palate is richly textured with more plum, blueberry, and blackberry. The mouth feel is pure velvety lushness. An incredibly multilayered Barbera with texture and flavor balanced perfectly throughout.
What an incredible wine!

Winery's Notes: The art of the blend is evident in the 2009 Barbera, with the wine from each vineyard crafted a little differently to add layers of complexity to the wine. Read More...
The Barbera from the Walker Vineyard was aged in 100% Slovenian oak barrels and Alisos Vineyard Barbera in 100% Gamba barrels made from French oak. The wine from Honea Vineyard was aged in a large “upright”, and Zotovich Vineyard Barbera saw mostly neutral oak. Once the final blend was determined, the wines were racked from barrels to tank and allowed to marry, intermingle and meld for an additional month prior to bottling. The result is a wine that is truly representative of Santa Barbara County and layered with a cornucopia of flavors and bright acidity.
The vibrant purple edges surrounding the scarlet color of the wine tells of its youth and brightness before even a swirl. The swirl releases intense and elegant aromas of blackberry preserves on toast and just picked dark plums. A first sip pleases and surprises the palate, with the roundness from nose being overtaken with a bright and lively acidity and red fruit flavors – red raspberry, sour cherry, mulberry and cran-cherry. The layering from the vineyards is evident with textural components of bramble, tealike soft tannins and a hint of rhubarb mingling with more blackberry, a hint of tar and earthiness and a lifting red plum note on the finish. This wine loves food, so enjoy with anything ‘rustica’ – spaghetti with meatballs, lasagna, risottos and just about anything with tomatoes and herbs! Enjoyable now, but will really improve with aging – we suggest decanting or aerating while the wine is still in its youth.

grapes he cultivates. The vineyard is comprised of loose gravelly top soil and beautiful, blonde colored loamy soil beneath – Ron’s hard work and dedication to his craft have produced some outrageously good fruit! A suitably dark purple hue, fills the glass and the nose is jam packed with luscious boysenberry, dark plum and white pepper aromas. This is a very supple and engaging wine with vibrant acidity, ripe tannins and subtle minerality that surrounds a core ofdark cherry and plum fruit with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla on the palate. It has excellent balance and a long silkyfinish.
