Oak Farm Vineyards
Lodi Barbera
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
Classic side pose (my left side photographs better) and added earring fun. Classic Italian grape added Lodi fun. I’m verily into it. One must mix things up. Studying Champagne pest-fighting technique earlier I learned that “sexual confusion” is the new pesticide there (this is not a joke) so maybe varietal location confusion is the new vaccine? I wish.
Anyway this also has about 12% Petite Sirah and also was in some new oak and is indelibly new world in a way I like. So much cola and vanilla and deep ripe red cherries but something. Some kick. Some oomph. That would make me say...not a pinot noir? If blind tasted.
I dunno it is yummy and apparently there is a guy who comes to the Oak Farm (shoutout to them having a woman winemaker on team) tasting room every day-ish for lunch who has a glass of this and takes the rest home. I wouldn’t mind more. More earrings. More wine? Okay

This Italian grape grows dark in Lodi. The nose gives off black cherry, blackberry, cigar and cedar. It is a complex and delightful package of aromas. The palate is also dominated by dark fruit, with plentiful oak effects. It is a fresh wine, with lively acidity, and the tannins have a bit of bite just after the cork is removed. Wait a bit and they settle down.
