Petite Reserve

2011 Paso Robles Barbera

Trader Joe's Petite Reserve is a captivating red wine hailing from the sun-kissed region of Paso Robles.

With vibrant acidity, this wine is refreshingly bright and lively on the palate, which enhances its dark fruit notes. The tannins are notably firm yet approachable, adding depth to the wine’s structure without overwhelming the fruit. The overall profile is dry, allowing the wine's flavorful complexity to shine through. Enjoy this charming Barbera with hearty dishes or savor it on its own for an enjoyable experience.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
