La Sirena produces about 2000 cases total of 6 different wines each year. All the wines are small production lots made with great care and the highest quality in mind. Based in winemaker Heidi Barrett’s hometown of Calistoga, these wines are near and dear to her heart – literally. Heidi’s home vineyards provide much of the Cab and Syrah she uses in her wines. Heidi loves having her own brand – creating, experimenting, and being free to explore and express herself through her work, while also giving her fans the delicious wines they have come to expect from her.
Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah, 2% Cab Franc
TASTING NOTES:
Deep ruby in color. The aromas show expressive fruit characteristics of Cab and Syrah especially – berry, cherry and plum with nuances of French oak, blueberry, garden herbs, and tea leaves. The layered fruit character of the aromas carries through in the mouth coating, vibrant, and lively flavors. Very streamlined silky tannins and mouthfeel across the palate. Tasty and inviting - This elegant work of winemaking artistry will delight with its richness and complexity for many years to come!
