About This Wine


Fifth Note Cellars

Barbera Grenache Cabernet Sauvignon

Fifth Note Cellars blends are crafted from specific varietals and regions to enhance the flavors, spices, sauces, and herbs in your favorite recipe or next meal. Barbera from the sandy soils of Lodi has a refreshing acidity, cranberry, and black cherry. Grenache from high elevation old vines in the Sierra Foothills produces small concentrated bunches of expressive, spicy, textural Grenache. Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Paso Robles tie these varieties together and provide richness. It feels like an Old World wine. We call it power and poise in a glass. See the back label for more detailed pairings. Judges love it too! It has taken home a Silver medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry
  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

Primary red fruits provide the aromatic intensity and lift with a blackberry compote core. Juicy fruit in the entry, soft and textural mid-palate with great length and persistence. Savory, rustic tannin compliment the old world feel of this wine.
