Barra 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The cabernet sauvignon fruit for this wine was handpicked from both our 50-acre vineyard site located at our winery in Redwood Valley, CA as well as our home ranch, Redwood Valley Vineyards.

After completing primary and secondary fermentation, this wine was gently racked into barrels where it rested for 18 months before final blending. Aged in 30% new French and American oak. French oak imparts gentle toasty characters while American oak adds mouthfeel, vanilla and nutmeg complexities.

This wine is deep ruby in color with aromas of black cherry, anise, toffee and mocha. Flavors of roasted nuts and dark cassis are followed by a smooth, well-balanced mouthfeel. Rich, creamy hints of baked blackberry pie are elegantly supported by medium, supple tannins. Its dense and concentrated fruit underscores the wine's potential for evolution; expect even greater grace and finesse to develop over the next 1 to 3 years.
