Winemaker Notes
Rich red color with black tea, currents and nutmeg aromas mix with hints of tobacco and clove on the nose.
Rich blackberry and cherry flavors marry well with the spicy character of this full-bodied wine. The finish is
smooth and long giving the wine an early approachability as well as fine aging potential.
Barnwood Vineyards is a pioneer in the development of higher elevation vineyards in Santa Barbara County, California. Even though the central region of California has been successfully producing vine grapes for the past twenty years, these vineyards have been in the lower elevation valleys of the region. Prior to the planting of vines at Barnwood vineyard, several renowned viticulturists were consulted as to the wine-grape producing potential of the area. The consensus was that irrespective of climate and soil, new commercial wine growing areas are always a pioneering venture. After calculating the risks involved, the decisions were made to plant three varieties on a total of forty acres. The viticultural experience has indeed proven that slightly different problems from the norm have been encountered and have been overcome. The first wines from these plantings are now bottled and have been received with great enthusiasm. The faith of those at Barnwood has been rewarded by the excellence of the wine!
