In Vino Veritas, Dirk

2023 Barra Family Estate Reserve Zinfandel, Mendocino – Aromas of ripe blackberries and juicy plums blend with underlying hints of black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of clove. Savory nuances of dark chocolate and tobacco intertwine with the ripe fruit flavors. At the same time, 13% Petite Sirah contributes a structured backbone, adding richness and an appealing tannic grip that balances the wine’s fruitiness. $24.00

2023 Girasole Pinot Blanc, Mendocino – This wine is fresh, bright, with aromas of White peach, apricots, orange, green papaya, and notes of spice on the nose. The flavors on the palate are White nectarine, orange cream, clove, and White grapefruit, layered with sedimentary rock and mineral, with a mouthwatering finish. Wine Enthusiast: 92 $16.00

2023 Girasole Sangiovese, Mendocino – On the nose, inviting aromas of wild strawberries, juicy raspberries, and a hint of rose petals. On the palate, flavors of ripe cherry and pomegranate are complemented by notes of sweet tobacco and delicate baking spices. The smooth tannins and fresh acidity make for a delightful, elegant finish. $16.00

2023 Barra Family Estate Reserve Pinot Noir, Mendocino – These vines have been planted organically since 1955. There is an intensity running through the nose of the wine. The aromas are lush yet flinty, with ripe berries, red plums, and supple oak carried throughout the palate. The fruit on the palate is youthful Bing cherry, Black plums, orange zest, and creamy, with grippy, lip-smacking tannins on the finish. Wine Enthusiast: 93 $24.00

And, this year’s Turkey Wine Sampler is ready to go, too!
