BARDEN zeroes in on the unique terroir of the Sta. Rita Hills, sourcing fruit from top vineyards to showcase the region’s classic typicity for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. With its marine-based soils and refrigerated-sunlight climate, the Sta. Rita Hills is the perfect playground for Doug “Barden” Margerum, who leverages his forty years of food and wine experience to craft limited amounts of world-class, cuisine-friendly, and age-worthy wines. The name BARDEN, meaning “lives near the boar’s den,” is fittingly symbolized by the wild boar, a common sight in the area's vineyards. Expect exuberant aromas of black raspberry, red fruit compote, and red tropical flowers mingling with sandalwood, clove, cinnamon, and a touch of oak. Structured and full-bodied, this wine offers vibrant notes of wild red berries, red roses, dried herbs, European dark chocolate, and spice, promising a delightful and memorable experience.
