Region: Napa Valley, California

Vintage: 2019

Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

History: Known as a superstar winemaking couple, Bo and Heidi Barrett have teamed up together for their very own project. While Bo comes from the famous Barrett’s of Napa Valley, known for their wining Chardonnay in The Judgement of Paris in the 1970s, Heidi came to Napa Valley in the early 90s, helping to start some of the greatest cult wineries Napa had ever seen. The grapes in the Cabernets of Barrett and Barrett are hailing from the Barrett family plot, planted on volcanic soils within St. Helena in 1989. The site is across from the famous family owned Chateau Montelena, and the land is precious to the family. The first release was in 2008, and each vintage proves to be wholly Napa Valley.

Tasting Notes: 

Deep dark black ruby in color, it gives layers of rich, perfumed aromas that continue to develop in the glass over time. Deep, intense notes of cassis, mocha, blackberry pie, and toasty sweet French oak. Explosive flavors follow the amazing aromatics. Luscious and dense texture across the palate with moderate, chewy tannins and great length in the finish.
