Blend of 81% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah and 9% Carignan, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with pleasant spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry, raspberry and cacao, with notes of vanilla and spice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, lively acidity ending with fruit and gentle spice notes. — 6 days ago

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. — 6 months ago
