Bougie Black Brother

Very interesting California Barbera,  This one runs more on the soother feel but not as tannic.  Blackberry flavors greet you with this wine also with an earth smell that reminded me of a Cabernet Franc.

2017 Starlight Ridge White Blend joins us from southern Australia’s famed Barossa Valley region, and shines with eye-catching green hues in the glass, sharing aromas of citrus, lemon grass and papaya. The fruit moves to the palate, which has a refreshing lemon acidity

This deep colored wine is full of jammy aromas of blackberry and black cherry. On the palate, blackcurrant, raspberry jam, and cedar layer over a lush, full body and a slightly peppery finish.  Some oak treatment was used during fermentation, and the finished wine was matured for an additional four months in a combination of American and French oak. 

A beautiful, deep, vibrant rose color. Has a surprising amount of body for a rose wine, and beautiful aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and hints of spice. On the palate, the flavors of strawberries and young cherries come rushing in, accompanied by some spice notes and a clean, dry finish.

Made from a nicely balanced blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, 2017 Paperbark White Blend is pale straw with green hues in the glass, sharing aromas of citrus, lemon grass and papaya. The fruit continues to the palate, which has a refreshing lemon acidity.

This wine is pale straw in color with some green highlights. The bouquet shows lifted aromas of pineapple, mango, and lime zest. On the palate, zesty citrus and melon are complemented by racy minerality and balanced acidity
