The 2020 TADDEI Wines Barbera is grown at Pauli Ranch in the historic winegrowing region of Redwood Valley in Mendocino County. With multiple vintages of this wine under our belt, we are truly happy with the Barbera fruit from Pauli Ranch, as it never disappoints. The 2020 Barbera is a full bodied Barbera with wonderful aromas of berries and crushed violets.  The 2020 Barbera is a powerful and complex wine, with big berry compote flavors and black stone fruit with notes of Strawberry, Bing cherry and baking spice. The 2020 is deep, rich and fruity. This is a full-bodied, fruit forward wine and excites from start to finish.

As the word implies, the 2021 TADDEI Stratification is a representation of three different vineyards, from the different elevations and geological zones within the Dry Creek Valley.  From the eastern ridge-top is the Ionnatti Vineyard with boomer loam soil, the Colline Vineyard resting on the bench with manzanita loam and finally the valley floor Integrity Vineyard with yolo loam.  Three distinctly different vineyards, each providing its unique representation of the Dry Creek experience.  On the nose the wine is quite floral and fruity expressing violet, intense aromas of raspberry with underlying notes of Tayberry and pomegranate. The wine is consistent from beginning to end with pure berry notes all the way through to the finish. Supple, smooth, with a strong berry thread from front to back and delicious with each taste.

Intentionally made on the lighter side with a focus on food, the 2018 Sangiovese holds true to the characteristics of this classic wine.  The nose shows a lovely expression of cherry cola and strawberry notes that bolstered by leather and tobacco with some crushed herbs to round it out. The pallet is light to medium bodied for my style of winemaking, but the texture is silky and seductive.  This wine is a classic Sangiovese with notes of cherry, strawberry and plum in your mouth.  This wine finished off with soft and subtle notes of herbs and dried fruit.
