Amici this wine opens with aromas of violets, blackberries and hints of spice, leading to gorgeously fruited layers of blackberry, cherry and blueberry with a dash of mocha. The lush initial mouthfeel leads nicely into a mid-palate with excellent structure and balanced acidity. Dark berries dominate the finish, which is clean and long. This wine pairs exceptionally with grilled steaks, lamb chops, and flavorful cheeses.

Barefoot Shiraz has deep breaths of lavender cut in front of dark berry and mocha flavors. A vanilla finish makes sure that it really is love at first sip. Love affairs include red sauce pastas, red meats and sharp cheese.

Bell the Big Guy Red is a blend of six varietals. Syrah from the Canterbury Vineyard in the Sierra foothills lends ripe, luscious fruit to the nose and a juicy, delicious palate, enhanced with fruit and supple tannins from the Merlot and underscored with firm tannins from the Cabernet sauvignon. The result is a ripe, bold, fruit forward wine with lively fruit aromas, rich, ripe red berry, and cocoa flavors wrapped in a blanket of toasted oak and soft, supple tannins in a persistent finish. This is a wine for every day drinking, whether on its own, on the patio with barbeque or in the dinning room with roasted duck

Intense color, flavor and soft tannins from grape skins. Partial oak maturation with some parcels left un-oaked to enhance the primary fruit characters.
