Barbera 2004
The 2004 Barbera is our reserve Barbera from 2 vineyards, known for their fine Barbera grapes. This wine won a Gold Medal in the Calaveras County Fair and the Silver Medal in the SF Chronicle Wine Competition. It is full-bodied, fruity, smooth yet elegant with a marvelous structure and mouth feel. You will love the subtle complexity, the interesting finish and moderate acidity. The wine contains aromas and flavors of cherry, blackberry and a hint of spice. Drink the wine now or lay it down to smooth out the tannins even more. We recommend this wine with any meal where the food flavors do not overpower the wine such as veal or pork. $32.00
