The winery's flagship Pomerol-inspired Merlot was created in response to Napa's famously elusive Cult Cabernet wines. Each label features a commissioned piece of art by a prominent artist. The first vintage of Amuse Bouche was limited to 3000 bottles, and was produced from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grown in Oakville. Today, production has increased significantly with grapes now sourced from the eastern hills of Rutherford. The wine is aged in new oak barrels from a combination of French cooperages, including Taransaud, Radoux and Gamba. As well as the flagship, Barrett produces an additional small collection under the Amuse Bouche umbrella. Vin Perdu is essentially the estate's second wine, and is made from a blend of Bordeaux grapes left over from Barrett's primary wine labels including Amuse Bouche, Au Sommet, La Sirena, Lamborn, and Fantesca estates. Prêt à Boire rosé has been produced since 2010 and is made from Rutherford-grown Syrah and Grenache. \u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-15T20:05:31-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-15T05:31:36-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1512","Other_Wine","Producer_Amuse Bouche","Region_California","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":867100,"price_min":867100,"price_max":867100,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42625972011146,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Amuse Bouche | Proprietary Red","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":867100,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_e600d2bf-8aa3-4746-9de3-fa4f20e29cf0.png?v=1671100724"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_e600d2bf-8aa3-4746-9de3-fa4f20e29cf0.png?v=1671100724","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Amuse Bouche | Proprietary Red at CaskCartel.com","id":23771374092426,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.594,"height":1082,"width":643,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_e600d2bf-8aa3-4746-9de3-fa4f20e29cf0.png?v=1671100724"},"aspect_ratio":0.594,"height":1082,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_e600d2bf-8aa3-4746-9de3-fa4f20e29cf0.png?v=1671100724","width":643}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Amuse Bouche | Proprietary Red\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is medium to full-bodied, exquisitely elegant with firm yet satiny tannins, refreshing, perfumed, spicy and very long with savory notions coming through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Amuse Bouche\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 95  \u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eVN\u003c\/span\u003e | 92\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2016\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.6%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e United States, California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmuse Bouche 2016, made in the Pomerol style, is a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc from our vineyards on Rutherford's eastern hillside in Napa Valley (hint, hint).
