Distributor's Notes:

"The Barra Family own and farm more than 200 acres of organic vineyards in Mendocino, California. For years the fruit that they grew was sold to some of the iconic names in California wine production before the family began to bottle their own wines. We would suggest without hyperbole that if a Mt. Rushmore of American Wine were ever to be carved into the side of a cliff, that Charlie Barra’s deceptively impish grin deserves a place in the pantheon as his life’s work includes contributions to the creation of the first American appellation, the creation of a grower’s union that broke the monopoly that stifled small farmers’ growth and too many technical advances to list here. Martha Barra, Charlie’s wife, along with son Shawn and daughter Shelley, manage the business of the winery today, and their acumen proves everyday that organically grown wines can and should compete on quality and price alone, and win. All of their wines are CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) and consistently more layered and nuanced than one might expect at the price."
