AboutBaca
BACA was launched in 2018 by Jennifer Brown and winemaker Alison Frichtl Hollister as the Zinfandel-focused branch of the HALL family of wineries. Its first wines came from the 2016 vintage. The name is Latin for berry.
BACA sources from California vineyards in regions including Russian River Valley, Rockpile, Howell Mountain and Paso Robles. Some of its grapes come from old vines.
BACA 2018 Bleachers Rudy’s Vineyard Zinfandel
American Red
Wild game and mushroom are joined by ripe, rich fruit and powerfully built tannins. A crisp, crunchy undercurrent of high-toned red fruit brings brightness, and the finish carries oaky spice. The wine comes from Rudy's Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley and contains fifteen and four-tenths percent alcohol. The fruit is identified as old-vine Zinfandel from Sonoma County.
BACA 2018 Double Dutch Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel Paso Robles
American Red
Roasted blueberry and blackcurrant open over wet stone, dust and a restrained pinch of thyme. The palate is rich and velvety, with black cherry, cassis and liquorice moving through a broad, polished texture. Wild herbs and prairie grass bring savoury contrast, carrying the ripe fruit into a smooth, persistent and quietly energetic finish.
