Setting the Barlow

TASTING NOTES:
Cabernet - “The color profile is a deep ruby red while the nose is dominated by dark cherry and a touch of spice. Cherry also shows up on the palate along with some subtle oak. Full bodied with rich, chewy tannins that will open up with decanting to drink now or will age well in your cellar.” (AbV 13.7%)

Zinfandel - “In true to our vineyard fashion, light caramel shows up on the nose along with ripe cherry and red fruits. A nice hint of black pepper shows up on the palate along with warm spices. Medium tannins give way to a lingering finish.” (AbV 15.3%, pH 3.63, TA 6.3 g/L)

BARRELS:
19 months in French oak, 35% new, for the Cabernet. 19 months in American oak, 40% new, for the Zinfandel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
To “set the bar low” is to make the conditions or requirements of something easier to fulfill. Seems like it could be in reference to a pole vault or high jump? Makes sense, as far as setting the bar lower makes it easier while setting the bar higher makes it harder.
