Reserve

2007 Mendocino County Barbera

Trader Joe's Reserve 2007 Barbera from Mendocino County is an exciting expression of this delightful varietal. This wine exhibits a medium-bodied character that feels inviting and pleasing on the palate. With a vibrant acidity, it offers a refreshing quality that enhances its overall enjoyment. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe cherries and plums taking center stage, beautifully complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are noticeable yet soft, adding structure without overpowering. This Barbera is dry, making it wonderfully versatile for pairing with a variety of dishes, whether enjoyed at a celebratory gathering or a quiet evening at home.

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.
