Barbera can be pretty rustic but this is a pretty elegant iteration. Pretty juicy, red fruit, good acidity and tannic grip on the finish. Good stuff and not much of it.

The 2023 Bedrock Barbera has lots of bark but less than its usual bite. It’s beautiful in the glass — a pink-edged purple that almost glows — and there’s a nose full of red fruit. But on the palate, it’s thinner and lighter than prior vintages, lacking somewhat in both fruit and acidity. This is virtually right off the truck (released 10/24), so there’s hope, and it was a very pleasant wine, just didn’t reach the highs Bedrock has trained me to expect.

Rich, dark purple in the glass. Shy, reticent nose of dark pie cherry, and tobacco. Smooth, (perhaps too smooth) and ripe (perhaps too ripe)… definitely “New world” in style. I think perhaps Barbera needs a bit of roughness, wildness, primitiveness to balance the fruit. Still a nice accompaniment to hot Hawaiian pizza and late-summer heirloom salad.
