2008 Mendocino County Barbera

The Jacuzzi Family Vyds Cellar Collection Barbera from the 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of this varietal, showcasing the vibrant character typical of Barbera. Hailing from Mendocino County, this wine presents a deep, inviting ruby color that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile with bright acidity that offers a lively mouthfeel, perfectly balancing the rich fruit flavors. The wine boasts notes of ripe cherry and blackberry, with a medium fruit intensity that adds to its appeal. Tannins are subtle and integrated, providing a velvety finish without overwhelming the senses. This red is exceptionally dry, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, and it embodies the essence of the region's winegrowing heritage. Enjoy this Barbera as a wonderful companion to a variety of dishes or simply on its own for a relaxing evening.

Mendocino County
Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
