Winemaker Notes
The 2000 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon had an extended hang time, coupled with precise watering schedule
to maintain grape ripeness. The clusters were loose with small berries and the fruit was well developed
and full of varietal flavors upon arrival at the winery.
This wine has a rich, deep red color with elegant blackberry, licorice and spice nuances on the nose. Ripe, firm tannins frame the fresh black plum and cassis flavors giving it excellent balance and a soft mid-palate impression. Hints of French oak aging come through on the long, rich finish. This wine has an early approachability as well as wonderful 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!
