Not as bright and light as many Barberas. It felt a little more earthy and dark. Still worth drinking on a summer's eve, but beware it's not quite on point with the style.

(Ryan Patrick Vineyards Barbera Columbia Valley) Still somewhat of a rare grape in Washington, this is an aromatically appealing Barbera with cranberries, stewed cherries, and sweet herbal streaks. The palate is quite tart with mouth puckering acidity and minimal oak influence. 13.0% alcohol. 248 cases produced.

Middle of the road depth that was greatly enhanced with some buckboard bacon.
