2018 | Houndstooth Rorick Heritage Vineyard Barbera | Calaveras County Donnafugata Higher percentage of cabernet sauvignon

Higher percentage of cabernet sauvignon in the blend this year gives it a pretty pureness

It’s compact and taut on the palate with polished tannins and a velvety mouthfeel

A swath of toasty

lemon-scented sparkling white with a touch of hazelnut and cream

but it certainly strutted its stuff

2018 | Houndstooth Rorick Heritage Vineyard Barbera | Calaveras County Donnafugata Higher percentage of cabernet sauvignonWe can't fully express how much we love making and drinking this wine it's honestly a wonder we have any left! Harvested from Matthew Rorick's dramatic foothills vineyard, this fruit was fermented and aged in used puncheons, and enjoyed 33% whole cluster. A jubilant, vibrant, fresh fruited wine.
