Reserve Barbara 2018
Often made in a big, bold fashion, designed to be consumed early, Barbera also has another side: ageabilty. When harvested a little less mature, the more pronounced acidity yields a wine that can age for several years. This blend was constructed from a single vineyard comprised of two clones of Barbera. One known for its high acidity and red fruit characteristics, and the other known for softness and spiciness. Blended together, the result is a delightfully balanced Barbera that is best consumed after a couple years of aging.
