WOTN for me at the La Sirena wine dinner. Heidi Barrett’s daughter, Remy, offered a lively conversation about her mom and the wines. We tried the ‘14, 15, and 2016 of the B&B and ‘15 was by far my favorite. Much more concentrated fruit. 2015 was a struggle vintage with little rain, hence the bolder fruit concentration. This was a much more nuanced wine IMO. Well balanced. Big wine, but everything was in balance. Stunning. @55Seventy — 2 years ago

This is a very rounded, elegant and nicely polished Malbec. As you know, many Malbecs can be rugged and rough on the palate. Not the case here. This is the second Winemaker that I’ve had other than Charles Hendricks that knows how to make an elegant, soft and well rounded, brilliantly floral Malbec. Wire to wire this wine is beautiful, balanced with polish for days. River like acidity. — 4 years ago

2018 vintage. 135 cases made. Barrett Vineyard on some little property known as Chateau Montelena. Last vintage of this was 2007. Rest has been blended elsewhere since. 14.8% and all French oak. Some punch/acidity with plenty of brooding body and a little performance fruit. Far from gratuitous. Very interesting given the pedigree, involvement and performance. 3.13.24. — 8 months ago

La Sirena Rosato 2019: Medium-light bodied. Well balanced. Light acidity. Nice minerality. Strawberry & citrus flavors with a bright & clean finish. Made from Primitivo grapes sourced from Amador County in the foothills of California, this is the perfect “fun to drink” or “easy to love” rosé wine. Let’s not forget this rosé comes from the talented winemaking skills of Heidi Peterson Barrett 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 All in all, a perfect selection as schools out & summer’s here! Let the summer camps & play dates begin! Make it a unique & magical day! Cheers ☀️🧜‍♀️🍷 — 2 years ago

Me parece um pouco mais evoluído do que deveria para 15 anos de idade, mas acabou que a mistura de amendoas, fruta madura e relativa baixa acidez acabou harmonizando perfeitamente com a comida — 3 years ago
