The Kenzo estate made by Heidi Barrett (no relation to Kenzo fashion) A Japanese owned Estate in Horse Hills appellation Napa Valley. Sauvignon Blanc (Musque Clone) is sensational- aromatics of lychee, fresh apricot, guava and texture that is as refined as the architecture is restrained. Polished, perfumed and profound. 96 points — 12 years ago

Nice Howell Mtn. Zin with a little bottle age. Heidi Barrett wine making and fun back label. Ripe fruit and some good spices and pepper. Less candy-ish than I expected, which is a good thing. — 13 years ago

"Coup du Foudre", when lightening strikes, is extremely accurate as a name for this wine. This one was a present to myself, for I have finally finished all my TWP exams for Total Wine! Which means, A.) I'm a Total Wine Professional now, and B.) The beginning of my sommelier journey!
Okay. Now to this monster of a wine! Originally a Heidi Barrett project, and owned by Danielle Price and John Schwartz, the owner of Amuse Bouche winery. This 2009 is slightly different from the current blend, consisting mostly of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a proportion of Syrah, and then Petit Verdot. Upon entry into the glass, this wine is one of the most concentrated, dense, blackened purple color in the glass I've ever seen. Extreme concentration, and deep stain of the legs. The nose was jetting out of the bowl exhibiting notes of green pepper, cocoa powder, stewed blackberries and blueberries, baking spices, Spanish cedar, and olive. The pallet was teeth staining and very full, showing a full spectrum of layers constantly changing; ripe blueberries, plum, red currant, leather, anise, and an everlasting finish. This guy needs a big decant, in the ball park of several hours. Drink now through 2025.

Bisous!

I was impressed with Murasaki (Purple - in Japanese). Kenzo Estate makes Ai and Rindo but I prefer Murasaki. Heidi Barrett is the winemaker for Kenzo Estate (known as First Lady of wine and Time magazine called her The Wine Diva of Napa Valley). If you have not visited Kenzo Estate, I recommend to include this Vineyard on your list of wine tasting in Napa Valley. The most beautiful estate of all the vineyards I visited. — 10 years ago

You rarely go wrong with anything Heidi Barrett and David Abreu touch. An interesting Bordeaux blend with notes of dark fruit, leather and spice. A long great finish follows. Tannins are subtle but I think this wine can age for a long time. A very nice wine. — 10 years ago

11' What Heidi Barrett has done with this 2011 Pinot is remarkable. Beautiful...ripened plum, black cherry. A splash of integrated oak, tobacco, & hint of cherry syrup . It's so RICH & balanced. There are no rough edges. I just love it! Drink. — 11 years ago

2004 out of a 1/2 bottle... Still with plenty of life & years to age, the wine showed concentration, complex integrated flavors, & was well balanced, rich, & delicious. Cassis, cocoa, blackberry compote, pepper... quite the example of Heidi Barrett styled Napa Cabernet. — 12 years ago
