2009 Barbera - Buy Now
Napa Valley
Harvested from the Twin Creeks Vineyard in Wooden Valley, this 2009 Napa Valley Barbera is the newest addition to our ever popular Rosa Lee’s Whim offerings, where we continue to explore new and exciting varietals. Barbera is the most widely planted varietal in the Piedmont region of Italy. Prized for its intense color, supple tannins and bright acidity, Barbera pairs beautifully with pizza and pastas, and ages quite nicely due to its higher acidity. This Barbera has a lovely ruby color and aromas reminiscent of cherries, raspberry and plum. Subtle hints of cedar, spice and vanilla integrate with the soft, velvety tannins and bright acidity which further highlight this wine’s depth and complexity. Only 590 cases were produced. Enjoy!

2010 Pinot Grigio- Buy Now
Carneros
We are proud to present this vibrant Pinot Grigio from the Carneros region. Staying in step with the whims of our Founder, Rosa Lee, we are eager to share California’s second most planted white grape variety with you. Pinot Grigio’s heritage actually stems from Pinot Noir, and produces grapes with a grayish pink color. Sourced from the cool Carneros growing region, we harvested on the last day of September at a ripe 26.5 degrees brix. A long cold fermentation in stainless steel barrels helped capture this variety’s mouth-watering character. With aromas of ripe peach, apricot, pineapple and honeysuckle, the wine is rich, succulent and round with a lingering finish, yet still exposing some minerality notes. Perfect for summer, pair this wine with a cheese plate, barbeque chicken, or an afternoon by the pool.
