Really interesting how this Barbera from the foothills holds up nicely after 8 years. I don’t know if the 16 vintage was so good, or the wine just aged exceptionally well, but this is much better than previous vintages. Very mellow tannins, smooth velvety. A pleasant surprise. — 4 months ago

Just a fantastic desert wine! Butterscotch, dried apricot, and baking spice per wine spectator write up hits the nail on the head! Wish I had more! — 2 years ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, plum, violets, vanilla and baking spices. Delicious red and black fruit on the palate with a black tea finish. Paired nicely with some steaks and baked potatoes. — 4 years ago

This was a big hit at a dinner party. Complex, well balanced, and still a lot of fruit for an 8 year old wine. — 5 months ago

That's my jam. Smells kinda funky (nail polish) but tastes incredible. Preserved lemon peel, high acid, long finish. — 2 years ago

Trying the ‘14 vintage at 6 years old - nicely integrated, still drinking fresh and young. Balanced fruit and acidity. Very good. — 3 years ago

Good but the 2012 was a little long in the tooth. Prob a year or two past its prime. Decent at least 2 hours — 4 years ago

Deep red color, almost purple. Very intense initial nose. Very heavy nail polish smell. Very focused scent, with a distant red fruit smell. Very earthy taste, with hints of cherries. Light sugar. (Interesting to note, I can a very quick seafood aftertaste, which was bizarre). — a year ago
