The Casa Barranca Certified Organic Winery is a central feature of the National Historic Landmark Casa Barranca Estate, designed in 1909 by Greene & Greene. Located in picturesque Ojai, California, Casa Barranca is the first certified organic winery in the Santa Barbara region.

At Casa Barranca, we are dedicated to making the finest wines. Some of the most coveted French wines are made from organic and biodynamic grapes. Why? Because organic farming provides a true expression of the terrior. Our boutique wines are handcrafted in our century old underground stone winery where we use gravity to rack our wines. We are committed to employing winemaking practices without the use of toxic solvents and cleaners. Our winery is powered by solar electricity and we grow and purchase grapes that are farmed without the use of any pesticides or herbicides. This is in keeping with the most time honored traditions of old world winemaking.

2006 Bungalow Red

2006 Bungalow Red

Our first Grenache is light ruby with brick overtones in color and has strawberries, rhubarb and hints of leather in the nose. Ripe forward fruit with mulberry, caradmom, tea leaves and bits of leather on the first sip, it's medium body is belied by the depth and melange of flavors that make it seem richer than it is. The flavors meld into a long finish with strawberry and Dutch cocoa lingering on the palate balanced by soft tannins and grapey acids. Grenache is a fun, delicious and very versatile varietal as shown by this wine. It's wonderful on it's own, it pairs very well with hard cheeses, earthy stews, grilled foods including salmon and tuna, fowl, red meats, vegetables and tofu and it's a great foil for lighter red sauce on pasta. Enjoy it while it lasts.
