Title:
Prince of Wine - Wine Review Short #6 - Barrak Brand ...
Description:
Made by Happy Canyon Vineyard of Santa Ynez Valley, this 2005 small production (200 cases) of Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon /Cabernet Franc blend is the namesake of the owners Tom and Laura Barrack who also happen to own through Colony Capital the venerable Chateau Lascombes, the classified 2nd growth from Margaux. So with Bordeaux on my mind (versus Sideway’s Pinot Noir country that Santa Ynez / Santa Barbara is famed for) I was impressed with a wine of medium garnet color with red fruit aromas interlaced with cedar box and oak notes. On the palate the Merlot part shines through with smooth action of red cherries, backed by a solid backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon based firm yet slightly harsh tannins that still has time to evolve. Overall the wine is in balance with fresh acidity that highlights the fruit. This wine is still young as Bordeaux style blends go so it is a very nice effort. Will continue to evolve and age well for a minimum of 3-5 years. POW 90 Walid Romaya Prince of Wine
