Celebrating winemaking’s artistic side, Art Bus is painted by winemaker Heidi Barrett and drawn in a richly layered, penetrating style that illustrates the best features of her Calistoga Vineyard, just behind Chateau Montelena. She uses the grape’s natural flavor characteristics as her Artist’s painting palette, unveiling the beauty of her vineyard projected into your glass. At under $100, this is, as James Suckling writes, “Deliciously concentrated,” and with a 96 point score, it’s a work of art that you shouldn’t miss.

 

Heidi is a world-class winemaker whose past and present clients include Amuse Bouche, Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, Grace Family, Paradigm, and many others. La Sirena is her winery, and Heidi crafts her wines with unsurpassed passion, undeniable expertise, and a creative spirit that’s hard to find. 

 

Only produced in exceptional years, Art Bus 2016 is from an incredible vintage and modeled to enchant your senses with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc from the Barrett & Barrett Estate Vineyards. Cellared for 22 months in barrel and with three additional years in the bottle, this wine is stunning right now.
