Prior to the Renaissance, Barbera was known in Italy as “the people’s wine.” Today, Cooper Vineyards’ Barbera can still be regarded as “the people’s wine” because the people just love it! A big cherry nose with hints of vanilla and warm spice draws you in to a full, luscious, dark-chocolaty and satisfying mouthfeel. The lingering finish will have you longing for the next succulent sip. A meal of Grilled Beef Tri-Tip with Chinese Five Spice and our 2019 Barbera is certain to stimulate and captivate the palate.

A whisper of coffee on the nose together with blackberry, leather and just a hint of cinnamon entice further exploration of our 2018 Mourvedre.

Full-bodied with a big mouthwatering blackberry finish, Mourvedre delivers! This is a wine that is very agreeable with food and begs to be savored with something rich and flavorful like Mustard-Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb. Scrumptious!
