Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The bold Baron entices with juicy notes of blackberry balanced by hints of cedar, herbs, and earthy spice. Approachable and elegant now, yet capable of cellaring a decade or more.
Vineyard Notes
IL Barone is a blend of the Castello’s top high-end Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards from the best growing regions of Napa Valley. The majority of the fruit is sourced from the Rutherford AVA, a region famed for producing beautifully structured complex Cabernet Sauvignon.
Production Notes
The 2019 year has been one of contrasts and challenges in Northern California. A cool, very rainy winter with flooding in the North Coast, some mud-slides followed by hot spells, windy and inclement weather during bloom and flowering- just another average year!
The cool spring, clear, sunny month of June and moderate temperatures through July and August allowed the vines to develop grapes in pristine conditions. By late summer things started to warm up and continued through early September to bring sugars and the concentration of flavors to ideal levels...Overall, the 2019 Vintage looks to be another fabulous year for wine!
