Wine Details
A terrific food wine. Dark and inky in the glass, your first thought might be, “This ain’t your grandfather’s Barbera.” Resinous and vibrant, it opens with a sumptuous nose of chocolate covered cherries and tobacco, with raspberry and blackberry notes gathering weight as the wine opens. On the palate, this wine has a super smooth entry that quickly gets lip smacking and juicy with a vibrant structure of pretty red fruits and cherry flavored tobacco. Pair with roasted pork, spaghetti and meatballs, skewers, and burgers.

Amador's climate (comparable to St Helena’s) makes for fantastic grape-growing conditions. For a region responsible for only 1% of California’s wine production, it has somehow managed to collect 30% of medals awarded – more per acre than any other California AVA. Lot 691 comes to us from ground zero for kick-ass red wines in the Sierra Foothills. Hailing from one of the most reknowned winemakers in the region, this old vine Californian expression of a northern Italian classic is a great deal that doesn’t come across my desk very often.

The Perfect burger wine
Perfect burger wine. This wine is relatively light but has good flavors and higher acids which helps it cut through the heaviness of burgers and pizza. It’s a perfect pairing.
