About This Wine


Burele

Red Blend

The first release from Burele was a hit with Firstleaf club members and judges alike, so you can’t blame us for being excited about the follow-up. With grapes that come from the breezy and foggy North Coast region of California, this red blend exhibits a mélange of complex flavors that represent the area’s terroir. Hints of dark cherry, cranberries, and licorice are balanced with fine-grained tannins and a polished structure. It’s a wine that we keep coming back to when we are craving a red. The structure allows it to pair easily with earthy and smoky foods. We think barbecued shrimp, a bacon cheeseburger, and even a complex cheeseboard are all ideal pairings. Judges love it too! It took home Silver at the 2019 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition, the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition and the 2019 North of the Gate Wine Competition.

Wine Region


North Coast

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
