More Georgians. I'm really warming to my theme right now; this one made me wanna eat meat again. A nice peppered steak over a business meeting, that kind of vibe.

Juicy and fleshy Barbera. Showing some bottle age. Crushed cherries, raspberries, menthol, graphite, spice, some leathery tones showing up, shiitake, funk. Love that this has some tannin to it and shows some rusticity.

A lovely Barbera, with deep purple color, vibrant acidity and very "grapey" fruit profile. A lovely country wine for country food...in this case grilled chicken panzanella salad.

Bold nose of dark red berry, velvet, latex and a strangely seafood-y funk, like oysters maybe, on a medium bodied, DARK red wine, with purple hues present towards the edges. The palate is much more straightforward and juicy, and slightly spicy, with notes like Hawaiian Punch, dark overripe berry, and a finish that tastes a bit like artificial blueberry flavor, with some slight tannins peppered throughout.
