Barbera is a nice touch. Dusty tannins and nice dense purple blue and black fruit. Great red sauce pays wine. Pleasantly surprised.

Was hoping to like this wine a little more. The 14% Barbera adds a jammy note to this 2011 Bordeaux blend. Cherry syrup, clove and dill. I would guess there is some American oak in this blend. Easy to drink but lacking depth for the price.

Great vintage 2008 this is drinking perfect now very full body with lots of Jammy aroma and flavor a big hit! Smooth integrated tannic structure, a new winery try didn't disappoint at all!
