Barbera, 2012, Honea

Honea Vineyard, Santa Ynez Valley 

In 2012 we began sourcing a second vineyard for our popular Barbera.  The Honea Vineyard is located along Alamo Pintado Road near Los Olivos.  It is planted solely with Italian varietals – our MOTO VINO (Tocai Friulano) was sourced from there as well.  This wine shows aromatic notes of violets, maraschino cherry, plum, green olive, leather and light tar.  Lean and tart, the juicy flavors include pomegranate, savory blue fruits of plum and blueberry, Herbes de Provence, leather and cardamon.
