Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 22, 2012 - Lovely aroma is more savory than fruity. Mushrooms (especially right away), tar, and a bit of smoke. Palate features some great ripe red fruits, strawberry, cherry and raspberry. Notes of vanilla and spice on the finish. Oak is wonderfully integrated - plays a role but but does not overwhelm. Lots of acidity makes this a wonderful food wine (paired amazingly with a tomato-based pork ragu). One of the better Barberas I've had, and awesome QPR at $16 - heading out to get some more this week! http://pavineco.com/?p=166
