Sonoma County’s acclaimed Alexander Valley. Barefoot Impression
is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Hot afternoons and mild
evenings allow these Alexander Valley grapes to develop intense
aromas and complex flavors.

transferred into French oak barrels following primary fermentation.
Experience the enticing scents of cassis and anise. Creamy vanilla
flavors complement the mild tannins and the rich, lingering finish.
