Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of jammy cherry and strawberry, lively spice, ok balance with savory firm tannins on a medium finish ending with mineral character. Ok, but a little pricey compared others.

One of the most fruit bomb packed, full throttle Barbara I have ever tried. In the blind tasting we all called it either Malbec or Cab. It was even 15% alcohol which is abnormal. 2015 proved to be the hottest year on record for this region and it most certainly shows.

Fruit forward. Delicious but not with pizza or tomato sauce because it’s so fruity.

We’ve never had barbera together, but it always makes me think of you.

Smokiness and wood aroma. Acid, balanced red and black fruit, prominent spiciness in pepper and oak notes, low-medium tannin.
