Community Tasting Note

Rob Hansult Likes this wine:

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - Fairly deep ruby.
NOSE > Wild red-fruit & minerality. Wild-Cherry, Red-Cherry, Raspberry, Choke-Cherry, Blackberry, licorice, & a smoky complexity.
PALATE > Big, rich, but very tight. Great tension. Wild/Red/Choke-Cherry, Blackberry/Raspberry/Blueberry, licorice, limestone/minerals, & wood-smoke.
Excellent balance, acidity, depth, length, & intensity. The tension between rich ripeness, & tight, concentrated red-fruit is beautiful. Ripe tannins take a back-seat to the gorgeous fruit, & add back-bone/structure.
Showing just some hint of age, but drinking amazingly young.
An eye-opener, & 1st high quality Barbera I ever tasted.
Impressive.
