Dark purple color. On the nose, aromas of blackberry jam and ripe blueberries, with hearty oak. These carry to the palate, and are joined with flavors of raspberry jam, cassis, and spice. Tannins are very soft and smooth, and the acidity is balanced. This is quite a jammy wine, especially for an Old World wine. Yet it isn't a "fruit bomb" but rather is juicy and delicious. The finish lingers long with dark fruit jam followed by earthy mineral notes.

A good representation of Sierra Foothills Barbera. Bright acidity with flavors of dark stone fruit and berries with a hint of pepper. Medium body with lingering finish.
