- Aged 24 months in neutral French oak barrels
Tasting Notes:
Put simply, to “Unveil” is to uncover a physical object or idea. This co-fermented blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah reveals a winemaking secret. A widely practiced technique not regularly spoken of, rather kept unknown, is the 5% percent addition of Syrah to Pinot Noir. The Syrah adds complexity and depth to the fruitful Pinot Noir. The wine is light ruby in color with hints of roasted strawberry, ripe plum, an earthy mid-palate with a touch of spice.

Tasting Notes:
The 2018 BACA Somersault is everything we love about Old Vine Zinfandel. It is powerful, yet elegant. The wine leads with delicate, floral aromas of white pepper and rose hips. Pure, vibrant fruit flavors of blackberry and raspberry coulis follow. The finish is energetic with the signature minerality of these 100-year old vines. Fresh, round and polished, this is
a serious wine with structure. It is luxurious now and will age beautifully.
"Gorgeous fruit flavors practically ooze from the glass in this very ripe, very tasty and full-bodied wine. Blackberry jam, strawberries and black plums flood the palate while soft tannins give a velvety texture." Jim Gordon
