Paradise
city
2010
The Paradise City is all about our winemaker, Joe Barton.
He planted these estate syrah grapes himself in 2000 and
has been nurturing them himself ever since. He chose
the Guns N' Roses song, Paradise City because it was so
fitting and related so well to this estate and the Barton
Family's story. The song mentions "Ragz to richez" and
the Bartons have built this winery slowly but surely and
without a fortune backing them up. A true story of hard
work leading to hard earned success.
Tasting notes: incredible aromas and tastes of freshly
picked blueberries, black cherry, pepper, jam, cloves.
Textured with dry tannins from the Hungarian oak and
whole cluster fermentation. Great for aging 10+ years.
