This wine is about style execution – it’s the bold, lusty style of Barbera popularized in the Sierra Foothills, and it hits those markers well, with jammy fruit, bold oak toast and spice held together by structured acidity. It’s built for the barbecue, and we’ll get to do such things again someday, so stock some for the celebration. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
