Consistently great and excellent QPR! Dark ruby color. Fruit forward aromas and flavors of raspberry and blackberry. Hint of spice and orange peel on the finish. Soft (yet round) tannins and medium bodied. Juicy with great structure. So easy to drink.

Gorgeous vintage that captures the more delicate and floral side of Barbera. This needed a bit of time but after tasting on the 3rd day I was very taken by its lovely aromatics, bright red fruits and silky texture. There is an almost Pinot Noir-like finesse going on here that is highly appealing. Black cherries, purple flowers and dusting of sweet baking spices. Definitely some French oak coming through but it is very finely integrated. Very silky tannins and a sense of delicacy that belies the 14.5% ABV. A real winner that I would highly recommend for food pairing or for simple and pure enjoyment.

Great colour, aromas of mint, spice, & orange. Medium-bodied, lush, great acidity, flavours of black fruits, cinnamon, herbs, mocha, and hint of earth. Complex
