Heidi Barrett’s Irresistible Napa Red Blend
Drop the name Heidi Barrett to a collector, then brace for the barrage of accolades.
She’s the “Queen of Cult Cabernet.” The “Wine Diva of Napa Valley.” The genius behind legendary wines from Dalla Valle and Grace Family—not to mention the record-breaking 1992 Screaming Eagle that sold at auction for half a mil.
No doubt about it, Heidi Barrett makes serious wines.
But cruise up Highway 29 to Calistoga and clink Zaltos with Heidi and her inner circle, your glass will be filled with the lush, seductive, and dense 2017 La Sirena Pirate TreasuRed, which manages to captures Heidi’s cult quality and swashbuckling spirit in one life-is-short, drink-anytime blockbuster of a bottle.
La Sirena is the Calistoga-based label that Heidi founded in 1994, and the 2016 TreasuRed shows its pedigree in every opulent sip. A seductive and powerful blend built on Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s bursting with blackberry preserves, lilacs, and violets, and layered with chocolate shavings and spice. Grand and seductive on the palate, its notes of graphite and dried herbs build to a mountain of powerful tannins that resolve in a long and memorable finish.
Barrett has long been known as a master blender, which has served her well in her high-profile winemaking gigs. She compares the art of blending to adding layers of color to a painting, which makes perfect sense given the influence of her artist mother and winemaker father. And the layers of flavor that reveal themselves in her 2017 Pirate TreasuRed show that she’s on top of her game.
