Foppiano Vineyards Cook House Barbera from the 2022 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Russian River Valley's rich winemaking tradition. This red wine presents a vibrant and inviting character, perfect for those who appreciate both depth and approachability. Its medium-bodied structure is graced with bright acidity, making it refreshingly lively on the palate. The tannins are well-structured yet smooth, allowing for a seamless drinking experience. Fruit intensity is high, with succulent notes of dark cherries, plums, and hints of blackberry, complemented by subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. The long, lingering finish showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and terroir of the Russian River Valley. Whether paired with a hearty meal or enjoyed on its own, this Barbera offers a delightful journey through one of California's premier winegrowing regions.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
