Okay, agree this really sucks as a QPR, but the intense agave nose is so nice, rich plate, certainly some expected belly heat, but no need for the tums. Good for sippin!

Crips and spicey, with hints of nuts, fresh peaches, dry enough fro my taste. This wine would go well with shell fish due to its firm acidity.

Popped and poured, drank at our favorite italian eatery, didn't show well when first opened sharp and bitter. After 30min opened up quite nicely to show jammy foward red fruit some earthand was very smooth. Paired nicely with broccoletti, canonelli beans, polenta and med. rare sliced duck breast.

Better than the last bottle, loads of juicy, jammy fruit, lacks terroir, very new world. I think this vintage got top 100 WS, certainly an excellent QPR.

Off the wine list @ Buon Appetito little Italy/San Diego, paired with Osso Bucco and was a very nice accomplement.
This Barbera was quite fruity with low structure and complexity, plenty of plums, raspberry, hints of earth which added a little complexity, very low tannins. Overall this was a simple, yet well made bistro wine that served it's purpose.

Incredibly fruit forward, so quaffable very good bistro quality vino, full of tart cherry, strawberry, raspberry, a bit of spice adds much needed complexity. I don’t as a rule score wine based on QPR but if I did i would give this a 92!!!! purchased at TJ’s for less than 6.00 USD.

Three bottles opened for novice wine drinking friends as we celebrate seeing each other again as COVID restrictions are lifted.
All 3 bottles were fine examples of bistro quality Barbera, paired so nicely with BBQ brisket, pork and chicken. Great feast, great friends, fun time for all.

Easy to drink, plenty old world nuances, leather, truffles, etc.
Balance by plum and cassis, could have used a touch more complexity but for the price a very nice Barbera.

Drank 2 bottles @ LA Grotta, RIchmond, this was a fruit forward, modern style Barbera, a bit of spice and terroir adds to some much need complexity. Paired well with sausage stuffed Quail.

Barbera’s have long been one of my favorite bistro wine, this bottle did not disappoint. A fruit forward red, with plenty of dark and red fruits, quaffable and flavorful.

A must say these, modern style European wines are quite good regardless of the region, and this Barbera is a great example of a fruit forward, little structure, yet nothing manufactured new world style wine that is great for drinking anytime while waiting for the big boys to come around.
