More About 2018 La Sirena Pirate Treasured Napa Valley Renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett's Pirate TreasuRed is a fun, multi-varietal blend reimagined each vintage through her connections to some of California's best vineyards. One of California's most celebrated and talented winemakers, Heidi was immersed in wine from a young age working alongside her father, Dick Peterson. Today, she crafts some of Napa's most sought-after wines. La Sirena is Heidi's brand, established in 1994, with the Pirate TreasuRed celebrating its 12th vintage with a six-varietal blend consisting of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc. 2018 was a glorious vintage in Napa Valley, and the fruit showcases the ideal conditions with bright acidity, freshness, and complex aromas meticulously vinified by one of the finest winemakers in the world. "The 2018 Pirate is a deep ruby red color with open aromas of ripe fruit – plums and cherries – with complex notes of savory spices, vanilla, toasted French oak, cardamom, and olive tapenade. Delicious, round, and silky smooth across the palate with seamless, layered flavors and barely-there structural tannins. Flavors last several minutes with a nice balance and finish. Easy to drink and easy to love - perfect for pairing with a variety of full-flavored food or bringing a swashbuckling spirit to any party or gathering."
