Delicate bouquet of a mild sweetness of plums. A completely different flavor upfront of soft cherries and plums and other flavors that I only recognized as vanilla and nutmeg after I read the winemaker’s description !
Had a bottle at the winery on their outside gardens.

Nicely balanced wine. You can really taste the ripe black cherries.

A fine Barbera from Ca. Found it at Costco and apparently they are discovering some fine gems.

9 year old Barbera from the foothills os Sacramento. Still holding up but the fruit is fading. No oxidation. Soft wine and the tannins have softened.

Flavorful Barbera. If you've not had it, definitely worth picking up a bottle.
