2009 La Sirena Art Bus Red

2009 La Sirena Art Bus Red

One of the most whimsical offerings in La Sirena's 30+ year history, Art Bus Red was produced in 08, 09, 12, 14, and 16 vintages and is now a true collector's item. This Barrett Estate Cab-Syrah blend features a colorful label of Heidi behind the wheel of her real-life Art Bus. The predecessor of our La Sirena Studio Series, Art Bus Red always had its cult following, and we're excited to bring this unique and personal wine back for a limited time. 

Updated tasting notes:

Deep garnet in color, with the faintest hint of brick red appearing near the edge. On the nose, it presents soft black fruit and plum spice cake character and cardamom, along with some tertiary notes of saddle leather, dried flowers, hoisin sauce, and gravel. On the palate, it’s medium weight and softened, a bit savory, giving flavors of black fruit, cooked plum sauce, and flower petal tea. The finish is long, complex and elegant. Cellar aging has developed this wine nicely - we recommend drinking now or within 1-2 years.

Tasting Notes
Our second release of this unique blend. The aromas are open, deep, rich, and enticing of black cherry and ripe plums, with notes of graham crackers, cinnamon, cedar, and smoked meats. In the mouth the flavors are bursting with ripe fruit, crushed blackberry, deep meaty tones, and a touch of sweet toasty French oak. Flavors persist several minutes. This is a big, intense, mouth coating wine. I love the layered flavors, mid palate texture and silky yet big balance of this blend. It’s unusual but delicious! While tasty now, this is a wine that is also cellar-worthy, easily 10-15 years.
