Close to the top wine of thanksgiving. And cheap! So juicy and fruit forward, but minerality and beet earthiness to boot. Yuppers.

Bright fruit flavors. The earth is hiding and needs to open up or age

Dense with enough structure that it could use some time. Possible green notes with air, but they may mellow with a few years of evolution.

This was SO good, such a good QPR, or at least I'm developing a taste for barbera. Nice spicy red fruit, transparent ripe cherries, some savory meatiness, and a soft but full texture. 13.5 abv is plenty balanced.

I'm not sure if this is a compliment, but it really reminds me of a lifesaver. I like it. It's almost got a tonic-like twist at the finish.
