Houndstooth was started in 2011 by husband and wife team Scott Brenner and Kelli White — the sommeliers who built the award-winning wine program at PRESS Restaurant in Napa. White is the author of “Napa Valley Then & Now." They produce a limited amount of wine from select sites across Northern California. For those who appreciate mouthwatering acidity, this wine is for you. The Houndstooth Barbera has beautiful aromatics of black and red cherry, black raspberry, rose petals, and dried herbs that are wonderfully delineated on the nose. This fresh, juicy, fruity Barbera wraps smoothly over the palate, imparting lots of luscious dark fruit flavors along the way.
