2009 Barber Cellars "Lo Scuro" Sonoma County Red Blend

SKU #1074743 90 points Wine Enthusiast

*Editor's Choice* Lots of pepper and spice in this dry, briary red blend. Could be Zinfandel, except it’s not. The components are Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A good value for a wine this complex and delicious. (12/ 2011)

K&L Notes

Barber Cellars marries two of the greatest Sonoma County vineyards in this very unique California wine. It is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot from Gundlach Bundschu, one of the oldest family run vineyards in California, with 40% Sangiovese from Unti, a remarkable Dry Creek producer. The result is a very elegant and interesting wine. "Lo Scuro," or "the darkness" in Italian, is a rich and soft Super Tuscan-inspired red with deep and brooding flavors of dark cherry, plum, and toasted oak. Sangiovese dominates the palate and softens the wine, offering very delicate and lush tannins and notes of tomato, dust, and raspberry.

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world. Click for a list of bestselling items from the United States.
Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Sonoma County

- Second in fame only to Napa, this "other" valley offers just about every climate and topography imaginable. From its cool and fog-enshrouded coastal regions on the far west, to the sprawling Alexander Valley on the boarder of Napa and the many little dips and peaks in between, Sonoma has been a vital wine-grape-growing region since the mid 1800s. Important sub-AVAs include Chalk Hill (known for chardonnay and sauvignon blanc), Dry Creek Valley (where zin is king) Knights Valley (largely cabernet land), Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast (both celebrated pinot and chardonnay zones).
