Review: "This is a young, fresh, lively Barbera with a persistent and attractive bouquet of black cherries and a bit of spice on the palate. It has few tannins which is typical of the Barbera varietal, and a medium finish. Delightfully approachable, pairs great with cheese, barbecue and game."
My review: If you're wondering how "old" can be a flavor, try this wine. The flavor of cherries seems to overpower anything else, but the spiciness may be what gives it its "oldness." Light body, medium tannins, and a very dry, almost sour finish. While it wasn't my favorite, I could see this tasting better with the right cheese.
I tasted this wine without food.
