Text Box: We have only made one previous vintage of a Barbarian zinfandel/petite sirah blend . . . It was such a rousing success that Dan refused to do it again until the flavors were “just right.”  The 2006 vintage gave us those wonderful earthy, masculine flavors we wanted for another stunning Barbarian blend.

The Barbarian is named for its succulent fruit, seductive smoke, and barbaric Hun campfire essence—roast game, smoke, wild berries, trampled straw, blood, iron, warm horseflesh, leather, impending rain, heather, and forest floor. 

Aged sur lies for eighteen months in neutral French oak.  Unfined and unfiltered.

Only 6 barrels produced.


Text Box: Suggested food pairings ~  Veal in a Bordeaux reduction sauce and roasted baby root vegetables, grilled Portabellos with Gorgonzola, New Zealand rack of lamb with a cranberry-Tequila salsa and Gorgonzola potatoes.
