Solidly Very Good table wine. Nothing much to add to prior TNs. Solid choice with a weeknight meal. Medium fruit, some earth. I'd say this has peaked and the once more robust and ripe fruit is fading a bit, but still drinking very well.
Again, nice QPR at $13
14% abv, would guess below that.

Competent, correct Barbera with one foot in each world - the traditional fruity, light, young drinking, and the more serious, somewhat oaked wine. This strikes a pleasant balance for mid term drinking. Nose growing deeper and darker than 2 years ago. Touch hot, wood becoming more dominant, cherry. Palate cherry, mineral, some oak, but more balanced here. Heat shows on the finish. More than adequate acid.

Decanted one hour. Blackberries, plums, cassis (??), along with some baking spice and garrigue notes. Delicious, fruit-forward on the palate with great acidity that should make this pair well with kale coleslaw and grilled burgers. Medium+ tannins, so can probably go for many more years, but it's our last bottle. Good QPR.

Clear dark red color. Fresh red cherry aroma. Medium body with rich red fruit flavors. Food friendly and great value.
