We produce a handcrafted Bordeaux style wine blending Cab Sauvignon,
Merlot, Cab franc and Petit Verdot. We grow these Bordeaux varietals
in our vineyard for our wine blend. This is an old world approach
to wine making allowing the wine to reflect the changes that occur
naturally in nature. Each year, while our wine style remains the
same, you will be able to discern subtle nuances that are the
result of farming and weather variations.
The soil, alluvial with rocks, and a climate of warm days and
cool nights, produce an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced
fruit character, gentle but well-structured tannins and a silky
texture. Our wine goes into the bottle with the kind of balance
and structured tannins that make it drinkable on release, and
for many years as it gracefully ages.

Barn Burner 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2004 Barn Burner
is a plush wine of many concentrated layers. This big deep wine
opens with characteristic hints of anise, black licorice and tarragon
moving on to ripe black cherry, blackberry and dark plums. The
incredibly long finish brings you to the meaty, smoky aspects
of bacon, black pepper, herbs de Provence and the terroir comes
through with just a hint of tobacco and earthy wild mushrooms.
This complex wine is ripe, but not overdone, creamy with approachable
tannins to enjoy today, but a good acid balance to carry it through
for years and years.
