Winemaker Karen Sherman “came of age” winning awards at the San Diego County Fair’s homemade wine competition, and she’s successfully crossed over to the dark side, winning awards annually at Toast of the Coast. This fortified red brings the sweet red berries of a great port, and the acidity you’d expect from Barbera. The combo works, with the acid pushing the finish long into the distance. Well done — again! A Double Gold Award winner at the 2019 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
