2021 Our Tasting Note
Deep red, with vibrant red edges. The nose is pronounced, with boisterous red cherry, cinnamon, some clove, some red licorice notes also add some fun complexity. The palate is medium bodied and easy going as Barbera is alway low tannin and low acidity so this goes down silky and easy. Med+ intensity on the palate this sails into a Med+, juicy and fun finish.
