The 2016 Barrett & Barrett Cabernet Sauvignon makes an immediate impression with a very dark black ruby color in the glass.

The 2015 Barrett & Barrett Cab, re-tasted in early 2023, presents a powerful and complex nose - definitely some more savory characteristics along with the fruit. The blackberry jam fruit character is joined with meaty and earthy tones, like mushroom, soy/hoisin sauce, shiso leaf, bramble, and minerality. On the palate, it is extremely concentrated - 2015 was a strong drought year, so we had lower crop, but incredible concentration of flavor and texture that is evident here. It’s savory yet juicy on the palate, reminiscent of blackberry pie with a little extra salt.
Leading with very appealing berry-cherry aromas, it smells delicious and well-developed already, though it can definitely age quite a bit longer. The opulent and complex nose presents notes of plum, cocoa, cinnamon, peppercorn, and anise that seem to evolve with each sniff. On the palate, it is dense and rich, with a smooth texture, nice acidity, and integrated tannins leading into an impressively long finish. Very rewarding to drink this one now, though we think it will age another 20 years at least.

Dark and dense – concentrated black fruit character on the nose, cassis syrup and blackberry as well as some bright raspberry. Intense and bold. The warm ripe berry flavors are balanced with strong earthy mineral character as well as notes of kalamata olive, pie spice, and French oak. One of our more structured vintages, the tannins are still somewhat tight and can benefit from time to open in the glass, or some additional time in the cellar.
Dazzles immediately with an opulent nose of raspberry, blueberry, and black currant, layered and complex with touches of nutmeg, tobacco, black tea, and vanilla. The palate is broad and rich - dense, voluptuous, and bursting with flavor. Great tannin texture and integration. Lots of life ahead for this still-youthful powerhouse.
Graceful, understated, refined – a beautifully made wine from a challenging vintage. Fruit notes are cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry, with characteristics of black tea, graphite, wet stone, herbs, and a touch of chalky dust. Much lighter in texture, it has a supple feel and good weight – it opens with a restrained and lightly perfumed nose, flows gently with silkiness on the palate, and fades with a nuanced, medium length finish.
The second vintage produced of Barrett & Barrett Cab. It presents dense black fruit up front, with some earthiness and Bordeaux-like character too. The aromas have an interesting masculine-feminine push and pull – there is earth and leather, gunpowder tea and a touch of black olive, but also graceful floral and spice notes too. A very complex wine that will present different sides of its character to each person who tastes it. On the palate there is some tannin and grip, yet it is still rich and silky.
Heidi Barrett has made many of the Napa Valley’s most sought-after and cult classic wines.
