Vintage Notes

A medley of vanilla, deep spice, plum and black tea aromas create a pleasing herb/fruit balance.  Infused, ripe cherry and vanilla flavors greet the palate followed by mouthwatering acidity.  Hints of burnt orange and plum chime in on the long finish.  Well paired with lamb or spicy Italian foods.

Rose of Sangiovese

A dry Sangiovese Rose tour de force!  Boasts a range of complex flavors built around racy strawberry and tart orange with hints of melon rind and peach.  Impresses because of its perfect balance between rich, concentrated flavors and mouthwatering acidity.  Very food friendly, but also well suited for hot summer day sipping by the pool or on the deck.  In the last five years, our Roses have garnered four best of class, one best of show and several gold awards at top wine competitions in the United States and Canada.  Taste for yourself why each new vintage of Barnard Griffin Rose is awaited with such anticipation!
