Barreto 2004 Tempranillo (Paso Robles)
- $24
There’s a good streak of acidity behind this dry wine, which is fortunate because the tannins are very soft. It has just enough crispness to balance the ripe cherry and sweet green herb flavors. Similar to Sangiovese, this is a pleasant sipper now.

- $24
Made from one of the classic Port varieties, this dry wine shows the possibilities of growing these grapes in a hot California climate. The wine is soft, rich and complex, with cherry, tangerine, cocoa, herb and spice flavors.

Barreto 2004 Vinho Tinto Red (California)
- $18
A blend of Tempranillo, Tannat, Touriga and Souzao, this gentle wine appeals for its raspberry and spice flavors. It’s also quite crisp, making it a good partner for roasted meats.

Barreto 2005 Verdelho (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The major defect of this wine is excessive sweetness. Without the sugary flavor, it would be great, for it has wonderfully crisp acidity and flavors of citrus fruits, peaches and minerals.
