Winemaker's Notes

Our proprietary blend varies slightly every year, each vintage a moment caught in time. Deep ruby in color, this wine is layered with dense aromas of dark ripe fruit and subtle spices. Laced with juicy blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum, this simply luxurious wine glides across the palate. Secondary notes of brambly spice and French oak shine through this beautiful red wine blend that will delight now and for years to come.

About the Winemaker

World-renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett has been dubbed ‘the first lady of wine’ and ‘the Queen of Cult Cabernet’ by top wine critic Robert Parker. She has been honored with five 100-point scores from the major critics during her career. Heidi is well-regarded for the exceptional finesse and quality of the wines she has crafted over the years.

Heidi came to Fantesca in 2008. The winery’s lineup includes the only Chardonnay she makes, as well as her only Spring Mountain Cabernet. While Heidi is most well-known for masterfully balanced, elegant and age-worthy Cabernets, she has also gained international recognition for her skill and artistry across numerous varietals.

At Fantesca, Heidi crafts not only the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and the Chardonnay, but the All Great Things™ red blend. Her acclaim and prominence are well-deserved, and we are pleased to offer Heidi’s wines at Fantesca.
