Suncé means “Sun” in Croatian.
So just think what would happen if Superman drank it.
We don’t take winery names lightly. If you’re going to call yourself something like “Golden Meadow Canyon” you’d better darn well be situated near a canyon containing a golden meadow. That’s why when we see something like this Suncé Winery Red Sampler 3-Pack we get pretty excited.
Think of the implications. A winery that could provide the energy powering all photosynthesis and truly almost all life as we know it. A winery recognized by primitive cultures as a deity. A winery that exists in a plasmatic state, rotating faster at its equator than its poles due to convection in the middle of its lifespan, fusing hydrogen nuclei into delicious Russian River Valley Petite Syrah, Bastoni Zinfandel, and Barbera wines. And helium.
Think of the power coursing through your body! Forget the Zin’s plush flavors from 13 months in French and American oak and the Petite Syrah’s nice tannins balancing ripe fruit flavors, you could be solar powered!
Until the whole operation explodes in 4.5 billion years. But until then, wow!

Black, black tiny berries with mature seeds. The aromatics are super-dee-dooperdy Petite-like; tons of new car and fresh rubber tinged with baked blackberry pie. The wine is utterly black and its fruit character is of the ripe mixed fruit type (almost hard to put your finger on just which fruit--maybe some exotic tropical fruit never before tasted)--it's all held together with nice tannins that yield on the finish giving it good length.

100% Barbera. It'll remind you of the 04 and 06 vintages... ripe, big, fuzzy on the tongue but good clean acid makes it the best food wine-if all else fails and you don't know what to pair with your stew, roast, crock-pot wonder, pork chops, barbecue chicken, pizza, osso bucco or any strong flavored, tomato based dish, just take out your trusty Sunce Barbera and you'll be in culinary ecstasyCherry and raspberry fruit surrounded by a silky mouth-feel layered by hints of cardamom spice and vanilla.
