BARNETT
VINEYARDS

In 1983, Fiona and Hal Barnett purchased 40 acres atop Spring Mountain in Napa Valley and have spent over 30 years establishing and expanding their estate into what is now Barnett Vineyards. Their goal was to produce small amounts of hand crafted wines that would showcase the unique characteristics found in grapes cultivated on such challenging, high elevation terrain. Today they work alongside Winemaker David Tate producing a collection using the utmost care and attention to assure their wines possess the ultimate fruit, complexity and balance necessary to age the wines for decades to come.

94 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate 

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake opens a little broody with notes of crushed rocks, tar and tilled soil over a core over baked plums, warm cassis and mulberries. Medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy-textured, it delivers lovely freshness and an elegant, well-poised finish.

 



In 2018 we had perfect conditions on Spring Mountain. The color of the wine is a beautiful dark purple at the core with a crimson rim. Immediate dark chocolate and coffee jump out of the glass, as well as blackcurrant puree and fresh blackberries. Underlying elements of eucalyptus, gravel and pepper spice complement the licorice and nutmeg spice. This is a very lush velvety wine on entry. The dark berry fruit is very pronounced, with other flavors of peppercorn and mocha. The sizeable tannins are in a chalky complex form that are matched by the acidity and demand cellaring. This beautiful and substantial wine will age amazingly over the next 15-17 years
