The nose gives black cherry and licorice aromas with just the faintest hint of a campfire or a fireplace burning. Very lively on the palate, it tastes of cherry and red currant in a very fun manner. There is a hint of red vine licorice and ripe, red plums. The mouthfeel is full, the acidity is striking and the tannic structure is firm, but not beastly.

A Lodi Barbera, interesting. Smells nice. Tart cherry juice and berries. Flavors are a bit more smokey and dense. Syrups and sauce over fresh fruits. Juicy. Tasty. Fun.

Hearty and rich Lodi Barbera. Cherry and cranberry, moving to some richer earthier notes toward the finish.

2006. Damn. Still a huge dark berry, jammy, smooth mouth feel, deliciousness. Lodi can do no wrong.
