2009. Aromas of ripe but tart cherries and berries. Mouthfeel is a delight, with concentrated fruit balanced with bright acids and a sleek run to a juicy, cool, and lingering finish. A structured wine with enough complexity for easy versatility when it comes to food pairings. Sausage and peppers, various pastas, grilled meats -- all within the wheelhouse of this youthful, restrained wine. Six years in it's still on the young side. 14.5% abv.

Barbera. Very ripe. Would have guessed Zinfandel if tasting blind. Boysen berries, plums, cherry spice and black pepper. Fruit is quite forward on this.
