Testa 2012 Coro Mendocino Blend: 49% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 20% Charbono, 11% Petite Sirah.
Made in méthode champenoise, our organic sparkling offers energetic bursts of Asian pear and green apple on the palate, with suggestions of freshly-baked sourdough bread on the finish.
The acid draws a clear focused line across the palate reminiscent of the Old World, with firm tannins marking it Californian. It has aromas of cherries and red fruits surely to delight any meal.
Medium bodied and with a nicely gripping texture, this wine is leaner than many, revealing mineral and chalk flavors along with light floral, green-apple and white-pepper nuances. It's lively and different, and should get more complex with age

Deep, dark ruby in color, this wine presents aromas of hearty blackberry, earth, and tobacco notes. The complex yet elegant full-bodied palate consists of black plum, anise, and pomegranate, with subtle hints of toasted caramel and raw cocoa.
The signature varietal that launched the BARRA of Mendocino brand in 1997, this petite sirah features certified organic grapes that were hand picked from our 27 acre hillside vineyard, Bella Collina, located high above the Ukiah valley (925 feet elevation) in Mendocino County. Following the advice of Karl Wente and Louis Martini in the early 60’s, Charlie Barra began planting the petite sirah varietal, and we continue to bottle limited quantities of this luscious, hearty wine.
Deep, dark ruby in color, this wine presents aromas of hearty blackberry, earth, and tobacco notes. The complex yet elegant full-bodied palate consists of black plum, anise, and pomegranate with subtle hints of toasted caramel and raw cocoa. Big, rich concentrated black fruit flavors are supported by medium, yet firm tannins and framed by the mild, toasty oak. This wine will continue to develop over time and is suited to long aging.

The fruit for this wine comes from the famed Masut Vineyard planted below Eagle Peak in 1998. It's rumored to be a rare Brunello clone from centuries-old vineyards outside of Montalcino acquired late-night, and under questionable legal circumstances. But then, we'll never know, will we? Hope you enjoy this illicit Sangiovese as much as we do.
