Very big body, strong oak finish with plenty of acid. Drink now with dinner or wait five years and let it mature.

Vintage 2015 - Sonoma County - Drank with Emily, Lynn, Andy and Megan on 12/18/2016. Seems young, better to let it stay in the bottle for a while.

Not a lot of fruit for a barbera but solid. Smooth on finish.
