  With standing rub roast. Beautiful red fruited nose, very dry cherry, herb, pepper, delicious bone dry palate.

  Wonder if I caught this in an awkward place. Primary, juicy, austere tannin and no complexity.

  Absolutely fabulous Barbera! Lots of cherries, red fruit, tart berries, a bit of VA, and some blood orange notes on the nose. High acidity with more red fruit, berries, and citrus zest on the palate. Nice finish. There’s lots of complexity and nuance but also really easy drinking and perfect with pizza. What a pleasure!

  Notes quite consistent with last bottle from 9 months ago. Delicious and silky. Lovely floral profile on the nose. Roses. Dark red fruits on the nose. Cherries and wild strawberry on the palate. Rich and sweet cherry. Roses and florals also starting to show. Very soft and integrated tannins. Elegant.

  Smooth, polished textures, nearly glossy. Very well integrated fine, grippy tannin. Black fruit is concentrated and primary, but is savory and saline - but to be clear this is not very complex on the palate. An aromatic nose of black and dark red berries. Juicy acidity. Well made wine and a fair QPR these days for the $50 paid a couple years ago.
