lighter than expected. strawberries. a little thin on the palette. not very interesting, but still highly drinkable, but can probably pass next time.

Acid forward, tart cherries, raspberry, tea, dried herbs, touch of mushroom and oak. A little thin on the palate? From Flatiron Wines.

Didnt notice it was a barbera and we are not fans. It has all the characteristics of a barbera: strong acidity and unruly tannins. It could use another five years!
