Sho 'nuff (133 views) | | | Tasted by Troon on 3/28/2023 & rated 90 points: Pretty straightforward wine. Red fruit and pepper on the nose. A lot of cranberries and tart cherries on the palate. It did smooth out a bit with air. It paired well with pasta with a hearty marinara. (555 views) | | | Tasted by DaButtah on 3/3/2023 & rated 90 points: Makes mouth happy (569 views) | | | Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 1/14/2022 & rated 83 points: Mostly raspberries, cranberries, tart cherries. In general the fruit has a sour/tart quality. A hint of pepper spice but you really have to dig. Good acid, not much tannins. Simple and primary. Decent pairing with chicken and cabbage. Could work with spicy meat dishes due to the lack of tannin. (801 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 11/17/2021 & rated 87 points: Decanted. Now 1h after decant. Aromas of bright, jolly rancher candied cranberries and pomegranate and a bit of herbs. Palate showed tart, bright cranberries and pomegranate, just a hint of herbs and minerals. Medium bodied w very high acids. Somewhat simple w basically fruit w hight acids. Not sure if this is shutting down. High acids that's a bit off balance. (830 views) | | | Tasted by Mootsie on 10/11/2021 & rated 89 points: Bright, cranberry, mineral. Somewhat simple. Not sure there’s enough here for age to improve. Drink and enjoy its vibrancy. (879 views) | | | Tasted by decaturwinedude on 9/15/2021: A Good Tuesday, Vol. VI: Italians (Benanti, Calafe, Produttori, Cornelissen, D&R, Quintarelli...: Fun wine. Very D&R. Sort of glou glou. Bright, crunchy red fruit. Pure cranberry. Good with food. Young. (1194 views) | | | Tasted by MartyL on 7/4/2021 & rated 93 points: Like a platonic ideal for Pizza wine. Bright, sweet-tart, cool red fruity thing, some intriguing spice. Best on first night open, popped & poured at Hilltown Hotpies / Katchkie Farm. (875 views) | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 6/17/2021 & rated 90 points: Agree with James Kim - the most striking thing about this wine is the D&R signature. Chalk and Crunchy red fruit and red fruited candy. A swipe of herbaceousness. Delicious and joyous to drink, but lacks distinctiveness compared to some of the rest of the D&R lineup. (819 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 4/17/2021 & rated 89 points: Decanted for 1h then back into bottle. Brought this friends' outdoor house warming gathering. Similar to my note on 03/21 but the carbonic maceration signature was less prominent and a bit more balanced. However, didn't have as much complexity as last month - more straight forward. But all this is a bit of nitpicking. It's still a delicious wine and I would never turn it down if offered a glass. (772 views) | | | Tasted by MartyL on 4/10/2021 & rated 92 points: Ebullient nose of sweet wild strawberries and red cherries, with an intriguing herby thing going on too. Bright and highly acidic but also deeply fruity. Delicious, especially on day 2. (Was reductive on opening and benefited a lot from vigorous aeration). Apparently this went through a partial carbonic fermentation and was on the skins for just a few days and then vinified like a white wine. It’s very Beaujolais-like, and I mean that in a good way. Definitely in the Especial/Zin category of D&R wines—think juicy, friendly, and gluggable. (886 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 3/21/2021 & rated 89 points: Decanted. Now 1h after decant. Aromas of bright, candied cherries, some herbs, earth and bark. Prominent, bright red cherries mixed with candied cranberries, nice earthy, bark component, some herbs and minerals. Fantastic acids that befits barbera. Mild+ tannins on midpalate. Nice finish of herbs. candied cherries and cranberries. Well made and I do like this wine. But the strong, bright, candied, jolly rancher type flavors from the carbonic maceration that is the hallmark of D&R reds (at least when young) hides the varietal typicity for me. I think I'm getting tired and maybe even bored of the style. I say this as someone who probably drinks more beaujolais than any other red. 89+ - it's definitely well made. (746 views) | | | Tasted by Mootsie on 3/19/2021 & rated 89 points: Bright acidity leading to big fruit leading to a mineral finish. D & R style. Straight forward. (745 views) |

Barbera is a red wine variety, originally from Italy, which is best known as the second-most important Piedmontese variety after Nebbiolo. The wines made of this grape are mainly the everyday drinking wines of the region. The main appellations producing Barbera are Asti and Alba.
Barbera - The most widely grown red wine grape of Piedmont and Southern Lombardy, most famously around the towns of Asti and Alba, and Pavia. The wines of Barbera were once simply "what you drank while waiting for the Barolo to be ready." With a new generation of wine makers, this is no longer the case. The wines are now meticulously vinified, aged Barbera gets the name "Barbera Superiore" (Superior Barbera), sometimes aged in French barrique becoming "Barbera Barricato", and intended for the international market. The wine has bright cherry fruit, a very dark color, and a food-friendly acidity.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
