Our Wines - Tasting Notes

2007 "Lineage" Bordeaux Blend

The paths of heredity in the wolf pack are the purest symbol of a tightly woven thread of existence that wolves share. The Grey Wolf spirit was founded on this ideal. The Lineage Blend is a tribute to the legacy of the Barton Family Winemakers, Past, Present and Future.

The 2007 “Lineage” is a true collaboration of Bordeaux varietals married together in a rich California style. Extended barrel age fostered a wine with an extraordinary mouth-feel and complexity. Aromatics of anise and chocolate lead to a blackberry front. Soft notes of vanilla and earth carry through to a deep toasty finish. This is an elegant wine with incredible lasting power.
