Ratings & Reviews
92 Points, #36 Top 100 of 2023 - Wine Spectator:"A silky, succulent red, with pure blackberry and black cherry fruit shaded by a graphite note. On the elegant side, showing terrific harmony and finesse, with excellent structure and length. Drink now through 2027. 9,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported." - BS (Feb 2023)
Wine Enthusiast:
"This Barbera is vibrant and lifted on the nose with expressive aromas of ripe blueberries, tart cherries and violets. The palate is plush and rich with flavors of cherry and raspberry preserves. The wine finishes with slight herbal notes and lively acidity." - JP (Mar 2023)
