Bright garnet red. Violets and crushed black cherries on the nose. Medium body and acidity; no tannins to speak of. Black cherries and vanilla cream on the palate. Medium short finish. Probably best to drink up now. Food is, of course, it's friend.

Bright vivid fruits drum blueberries to tropical fruit. With a deep earth citrus finish. Was better after being open for 3 days.

Blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, dried sage, blueberry, mossy earth and oak. Great structure and well-integrated tannins.

Transparent garnet red in the glass. Black cherry and dried violets on the nose. Echoed on the palate with a bit of that Mid-Atlantic mushroom back palate. Firm acidity still. Medium minus tannins. Not intended as a keeper, but has evolved nicely. Thanks, Anthony Vietri! Another triumph!

A bit dry, but interesting and opens up with a bit of spice.

This is a unique wine that I am living..... and loving this has a floral note and yes black cherry nose.... high alcohol content. Opens up nicely..... ALERT this is a PA wine and it’s excellent don’t under estimate east coast wines !

Lots of potential. A very convincing Barbera from Va La vineyard. Amazing what Anthony is doing in of all places Eastern PA.
