TASTING NOTES: 
A captivating bouquet of fresh fruit and herbs leads into exquisitely succulent fruit flavors of strawberries and cream blended together in perfect harmony with complex lavender, spice, and a hint of cocoa combined with an elegant layer of soft oak and plush tannins on the smooth finish. This young new wine will drink well for 2 – 3 years but also thrill tonight after decanting for about 15 minutes. Stock up now because this nectar is good to the last drop! 

RECOMMENDED FOOD PAIRINGS: 
Grilled Tuna steaks with pink peppercorn, cilantro, and lemon olive oil 
Herb roasted chicken with sweet cherry tomatoes and basil 
Cow’s milk D’affinois cheese 

HISTORY: 
Barnett Vineyards is located at the top of Spring Mountain with spectacular views of the Napa Valley 1700' below. Founded in 1983 by Fiona & Hal Barnett, this rocky, mountainside property is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and the blending of varietals of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Grapes are harvested by hand, vineyard row by row, as optimum ripeness and maturity is reached. In 1984 the first vines were planted in terraced rows with total plantings numbering fourteen acres by 1988. The vines yield an average of less than two tons of fruit per acre resulting in rich, intense wines that have become synonymous with the Barnett name. Today, Barnett also produce spectacular Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from two of the finest vineyards in Sonoma county. The Chardonnay is sourced from the renowned Sangiacomo vineyard, most famous as the home of Rombauer’s grapes, and the Barnett Pinot Noir is sourced from the “Tina Marie” vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley, widely considered the home of the finest collector level Pinot Noir in America.
