A huge, Sierra Foothills-styled Barbera that wears its “Righteous” moniker well. Big black cherry and spice are taken to the ripe side edge, and Barbera’s natural acidity is up to the task, making for a balanced wine with no evident heat – just pleasure from start to finish. Well done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
