Barton Family Estate Paradise City Bottle Preview
Barton Family EstateParadise City

This wine hails from one of the highest elevation vineyards in Paso Robles at 1500-1700' on almost pure limestone soil. Our Syrah has aromas of blueberry pie with a brown sugar oat crust, red plum, and bittersweet chocolate. Enhanced with flavors of cedar and root beer with inky soft tannins on the finish. Enjoy for the next 8-10 years.

Barton Family Estate California Love Bottle Preview
Barton Family EstateCalifornia Love

For the second vintage of California Love we increased the amount of Grenache to add more layers of texture and depth to complement the high-toned red fruit character of Counoise. A play on light Southern Rhone red blends. Beautiful hues of light garnet. Notes of freshly picked red plum, red raspberry, muddled wild brambleberry, and sarsaparilla on the nose. Green strawberry and herbaceous notes of fennel and thyme on the palate. Pair with herb roasted chicken, pork tenderloin...or a Summer sunset at the beach! Drink now or over the next 2-4 years.

Barton Family Estate Back In Black Bottle Preview
Barton Family EstateBack In Black

Back in black is back for it's second rendition of 100% Petit Verdot. After a three-year hiatus, this wine is definitely back to impress! Black cherry, black plum, violet, sage and graphite. Truly stunning structure with a profile of vanilla, mocha and caramelized sugar, suggestive of crème brûlée. A must bring on a date night to your favorite Italian restaurant to pair deliciously with osso buco. Will cellar incredibly well for 6-8 years.

Our Watchtower is a beautiful Rhône blend. Paper Street Vineyard is one one of the highest elevations here in Paso with a very rugged terroir leading to fruit with character. Aromas and flavors of cola, licorice, ripe plums, dark currant with graphite-like minerality. Subtle notes of lilac, eucalyptus and fresh ground pepper add depth and interest. Drink now or for the next 7-9 years

Herbaceous hints of rosemary and thyme with cherry cough drop and sarsaparilla on the palate. Balanced with a finish of white pepper and graphite-like minerality. A perfect BBQ wine, pairs well with a juicy burger, or a Central Coast favorite, Tri Tip. Drink now or over the next 2-10 years.
