Bright. Juicy. Nice to taste domestic Barbera that's happy to be its own thing. Neither ripened past the necessary acidity, nor trying too hard to be Piemontese, this is a great example of letting the grape and the site shine through into the glass.

Interesting, sort of like you took Italian barbera and lightened up two notches. At first it was a bit sour cherry, high acid, and short finish but with time it put on a little weight and showed more what I would call the barbera hallmarks, a sort of richness, balsamic notes, bitter green near the back and a long finish. Interesting more than great but worthwhile none the less.
