Jeff Runquist, Amador County (California) Barbera 2019

May 26, 2021

By Rich Cook

 I so appreciate the Jeff Runquist way of finding balance whatever the source may be.  Of course, he’s rather particular about his sources, which no doubt helps in the grand scheme of things.  This Barbera gets at true varietal character with a bold foothills flash, showcasing deep black cherry, fall spice and bright citrus zest that keeps the flavors pumping.  When you’re firing up the grill for burgers, this will get you from ignition to completion of the meal in style.
