Ruby garnet with medium viscosity in the glass. Candied red/black fruit and pine on the nose. Medium body with candied red/black fruit, singed tobacco and spiky acid on the palate. Big angles with a finish that quickly falls off a cliff. More Chianti than California or Barbera. I wouldn’t continue aging at this point.

Garnet with medium viscosity in the glass. Intriguing, balanced nose of soft red and dark fruit, earth and spice. Ditto the palate with cranberry showing thru. Mouthwatering fruit and pleasantly gripping tannin. Excellent acidic structure makes this a perfect table wine. Medium/long finish. So happy I have another bottle.

The Palmina Barbera was a lovely wine...filled with fruit and a very old-school wine (not booming with alcohol). Highly recommended. It paired very well with a lovely pesto shrimp salad loaded with black pepper.

What a great wine, Barbera is possibly the most versatile pairing varietal out there! Hot wings and pizza? No problem. Lovely nose of blackberries are dark red stone fruits led the way for the rich palate full of black currant. The mouth feel is what really separates this wine and other Barberas. Soft tannins and great acidity give you a luscious yet lively mouth full of wine. Wish I had more...
