Never the biggest, most bombastic wines, Heidi Peterson Barrett's creations seem to always steer toward balance and elegance. Her La Sirena 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon features harmonious scents of dark loam, black cherries and five-spice powder. Vanilla and cedar are present but as accents, not centerpieces. The wine is medium to full-bodied and velvety in feel, with a lush texture and a lingering, harmonious finish.

La Sirena’s flagship effort, the dark ruby/purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts beautiful floral notes intermixed with black currant, blueberry, and boysenberry fruit. Full-bodied with sweet tannin as well as lovely purity, texture and length, it offers wonderful uplift and freshness, plenty of power and lots in reserve. This alluring 2007 can be consumed now and over the next 12-15+ years. La Sirena’s Heidi Barrett has turned out a wonderful “grog” made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Grenache and Petite Sirah.Tel. (707) 942-1105; Fax (707) 942-9390
