Winemaker Notes
This Barbera is rich with flavors of raspberry, black cherry, and a hint of oak. This wine pairs well with grilled meats or rich pastas.
The Tamas winery is located in the Livermore Valley, part of the premier winegrowing region known as the Central Coast appellation. Tamas Estates is committed to producing handcrafted wine sthat are true to their varietal character.
In 1984, Iván Tamás Fuezy and Steve Mirassou left their respective companies to start Iván Tamás Winery. Having worked in the wine business for decades in a time when the industry was far more fraternal than it is now, Ivan and Steve's paths crossed often. In fact, Ivan worked with Steve at Mirassou Vineyards for a time. Thus, the partnership began with a high level of familiarity. After several years as negociants, the two partners found a home in the Livermore Valley. Today Iván Tamás is a bonded winery producing about 60,000 cases per year of eight varietals, including the "house" Chardonnay and Cabernet for the Ritz-Carlton Hotels around the world.
