Heavy floral nose of lavender, licorice, baking spice, cocoa, and plummy cherry, hint of pine and cayenne pepper. A big nose that is matched by the body on the palate. Decant one hour. Juicy berry up front with the heat of Amador County. Deep sunshine grape in a bottle.

Perfect barbera - juicy red plum, hint of yellow cherry, exhibits strong amador county character too - smoky, leathery tannins and dusky earth notes followed by a lingering sweetness.
