A beautiful and vibrant wine that strikes me as a flavorful alternative to Nebbiolo-based wines I like so much. Really beautiful. Caught it on sale for $19.99.

Opened 2 hours but not decanted. Cherry, leather and some earth on the nose. Tart cherry coats the palate, but has layers of complexity wtih leather, tobacco, some earth and spice. Medium body, with medium+ acidity, really well balanced. Food friendly, but was good on its own after opening up over the course of the night. This is a great single vineyard Barbera for the price, and I regret not buying more.

Attractive plum fruit, with a bit of a youhtful edge to it still. Nice, with a bit of grip, but somewhat innocuous. I suppose I expected better. Maybe in a couple of years...
