The weather is usually great; it\u2019s a fun day to mark on your calendar, which a lot of our local members have on the calendar every year \u2013 it\u2019s great to see the same faces. <a href=\"\/wine-barrel-tasting\/\">And we also do something very special for the party, that we make a special red blend that is shown at barrel, that we make just for that day.<\/a>\u00a0So, it can only be purchased on that day.<\/li><li>If you see this video and you can\u2019t come to the party, you can email us, and we can put together an order for you. But we only do with that one day, so it gets a special label so it\u2019s something that\u2019s obviously extraordinary unique, I think, like a collector\u2019s item, and something have in yourself. We did put a great price on it, too, so it\u2019s a great chance to give it your first look at that vintage out of barrel, and then determine whether you want to buy it seven-hundred fifty magnum, three litre, and get your special label on it. So, it\u2019s a great opportunity.<\/li><\/ul><p>What to expect if you\u2019ve never been barrel tasting before\u2026<\/p><p>Think of wine-tasting and the first thing that comes to mind are rows of bottles, glasses on a table and a spittoon next to you. True wine experts though, would take it one step further and do like the makers do: taste wine straight out of the barrel.<\/p><p>It\u2019s an activity that most wine lovers only do on occasion, most likely when visiting a vineyard, but a very frequent activity for winemakers. Once grapes have finished fermenting and are transferred into barrels for aging, winemakers must track the development of their wines by tasting samples directly from the barrel.<\/p><p>As time passes, the aromas, flavors, texture, body and tannins\u2014imparted both by the grape skins during fermentation and by barrel ageing\u2014take shape. The questions one asks hence tends to be more on the developmental stages of wine rather than appreciating and analyzing the finished product.<\/p><p>How to Book a Barrel Tasting<\/p><ul><li><strong>Plan one year in advance:\u00a0<\/strong>Make a list of your favorite wineries in the area, and make appointments with each of them before their calendars fill up. You can book directly with the winery; you don\u2019t have to use a third party booking agent.<\/li><li><strong>Book a private tasting, if available:\u00a0<\/strong>One-on-one appointments give you the chance to speak directly with the winemaker and\/or tasting room manager to get more information about the vintage.<\/li><li><strong>Space out your visits:\u00a0<\/strong>Don\u2019t book more than two or three barrel tastings per day. Give yourself about 75 minutes per winery, minimum. This gives you time to travel to each winery, fully enjoy the tasting experience, and get to the next location in time. Arriving late to a winery could force them to cancel your appointment entirely.<\/li><li><strong>Familiarize yourself with the estate:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Getting to know the estate\u2019s wines, and its winemakers, will also teach you what to look for in these wines when you eventually taste them from the barrel.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bccbb53 test-word elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bccbb53\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d73b8a animated-slow elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"5d73b8a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2de0d17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2de0d17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTkwODgsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6XC9cLzIwMi4xMzEuMTA3LjEwN1wvc2pcL2tlZW5hbndpbmVyeVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyMlwvMDdcL21hdHQtZ2FyZG5lci1rZWVuYW4tY2VsbGFyLWNyb3AuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-19088\" alt=\"matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop\" srcset=\"http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop.jpg 900w, http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop-600x800.jpg 600w, http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/202.131.107.107\/sj\/keenanwinery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/matt-gardner-keenan-cellar-crop-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b95888 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b95888\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Matt Gardner, GM at Keenan Winery, tastes wine from the barrel.<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1551d2 animated-slow elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"a1551d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a818256 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a818256\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Tasting Wine from the Barrel: Analyzing Flavors<\/h3><p>Getting an appointment at a top winery can be difficult, but often, actually tasting wine from the barrel is even harder. That\u2019s because truly age-worthy, collectible wines made at the top wineries in the world tend to be harsh in their youth. The bottled version of a wine, like a Keenan Merlot Reserve Napa Valley,\u00a0is graceful and supple. Note, in the barrel many wines have rough tannins, an astringent personality, and offensively strong oak. This is just a sign the wine is too immature to show its refined features. When tasting wine from the barrel, you need to taste \u201caround\u201d the harsh flavors, finding the broad brushstrokes of balance and age-worthiness hidden underneath all of that tannin and oak.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s one way to approach barreled wine for the first time:<\/p><h3>Step 1: Look for fruit flavors and scents.<\/h3><p>Ignore the oak and tannins for now, and search for the subtle fruit notes instead. What kind of fruit are you tasting? If the wine has a green, bell pepper-like quality, it\u2019s possible that the grapes are underripe. If the wine tastes especially sweet or alcohol-heavy, it\u2019s a sign that the grapes are overripe. A balanced wine will taste like a happy medium between these two: slightly sweet fruit, with some hint of floral or herbaceous depth.<\/p><h3>Step 2: Analyze the tannins.<\/h3><p>After you\u2019ve found the fruit, you can revisit the tannins. Age-worthy wines will have very prominent tannins at the barreling stage that will cause your lips to pucker. However, these tannins should still be relatively smooth on the palate. Very raspy tannins point to a wine that\u2019s a little too overripe.<\/p><h3>Step 3: Smell the oak.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2dce8e3 test-word animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"2dce8e3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-41f4185\" data-id=\"41f4185\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7b2067 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7b2067\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Wine straight from the barrel will naturally smell like new wood or oaky spices. It\u2019s alright if this scent is overpowering in the glass at this stage. The oak aroma and flavor will likely dissipate as the wine matures in the bottle later. What you should look for is a wine that still has some layers of fruit and tannin, in addition to the oak. If you only smell and taste oak in the glass, it may be a sign that the wine isn\u2019t very balanced.<\/p><h3>Step 4: Is the wine well-balanced?<\/h3><p>This brings us to the last step when tasting wine from the barrel. After you\u2019ve identified all three components, from fruit to oak, go back one final time to see how all of these moving parts relate to each other. Each component will feel a little unrefined and rough, but they should taste like they\u2019re in proportion with each other. A wine that has all oak flavor and virtually no fruit likely won\u2019t improve much over time.<\/p><p>If you notice a flavor seems too prominent, or out of place, feel free to ask the winemaker about it. It\u2019s possible that this is the result of an unusual winemaking technique, or simply a quirk of the vintage. At top estates, winemakers are usually willing to have honest conversations with tasters about the pros and cons of each vintage, and are often more than happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
