WINE

Cellars Syrah has a fantastic color of deep, dark ruby and purple hues. Delicious notes of stewed plums, candied black fruit and baked cherry pie are laden with sweet oak and briary undertones. A stunning and broad palate with firm and consistent flavors of black stone fruit, dried currants and minerality; this wine possesses bright and complex tannins making it cellar worth for 8-10 years.

I had a chance to sample one of these blends recently, the B.R. Cohn Gold Label Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Cab (or even any wine from California) and I’d forgotten how much I enjoy one that’s got a complex array of dark fruit and spice notes. The B.R. Cohn Gold Label Cabernet has rich notes of black cherry, blackberry, and plum and finished smooth with a hint of chocolate. It’s bold and (at 14.5% alcohol) strong, but not overpowering. My measure of likability is how it gets me in the jaw, and this one did not; it was smooth and enjoyable. Too enjoyable; I had to remind myself of its strength on the second pour. The Gold Label Cab is the big brother to the vineyard’s Silver Label Cab, popular and highly rated as an “entry-level” and affordable wine.

B. R. Cohn this Chardonnay is made exclusively from grapes grown at the Sangiacomo Vineyard in the Carneros Region of the southern Sonoma Valley. This wine is rich and concentrated with aromas of tropical fruit, pear, apricot, and lemon meringue surrounded by a bouquet of toasty oak, vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut. Luscious mouthfeel and bright flavors of honey, pear, apple, and citrus make this a perfect wine with food, especially seafood or poultry. It is 100% barrel fermented and aged in all new Burgundian French oak barrels.

B. R. Cohn complex and full, rich aromas of plum, cassis and black cherry are accompanied by a bouquet of the finest French oak, cedar, cola, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg. On the palate, our Silver Label is a big rich Cabernet with luscious flavors of dried berry and cherry, ample tannin, and a long finish.

Bandwagon crisp, wonderful acidity with aromas of apple, pear and pineapple. It has a rich mouth feel with some creaminess from aging sur lees.

Banshee charming aromatically, this Chardonnay immediately hints toward Asian pear and apple flavors with an underlying cut of lemon framed by hints of Tahitian vanilla from fine grained French oak. It offers hints of more tropical flavors without ever fully realizing them and finishes with ample verve.

Green apple, jasmine, hints of kiwi and peach flavors bubble up for a crisp finish. Bubbling with aromas of Chardonnay, it’s our most traditional bubbly. Make a toast to that buttery lobster or fresh fruit & enjoy!

Sparkles are our favorite! Light-bodied and refreshing, our Bubbly Pinot Grigio bubbles over with citrus flavors and orange blossom aromas. Fantastic alone or with some grilled fish.

Barefoot this deliciously sweet and bubbly blend visits exotic lands that bear the fruit of fresh pineapple, island mango and papaya.

Barefoot Malbec is a plush red wine of epic proportions. Big juicy flavors of blackberry and currant set sail on a gorgeous gust of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak. Goes great with barbequed steak or caramelized-onion pizza.

Barefoot Merlot is the perfect combo of cherry, boysenberry, plum and chocolate flavors. Raised right, it’s well rounded with mild tannins. Perfect with beef, poultry and dessert are just a few of the places this wine can go.
