Bright fruit bounces in your mouth. Nice balance with a light acidity overtone. This is a foody wine...Barbera versus Borolo. Charcuterie and pork’s best new friend. Great value for a fun versatile wine.

Medium+ bodied. Good tannins, nice acids but more mellow than a typical Barbera? Tobacco, earthy, mineral, touch of bell pepper, roasted tomato, dried flowers. Really nice for the price. From Haggen’s, Bellingham WA.

Excellent Barbera. Fresh and ripe red and dark fruits commingled in a harmony. The palate is actually plush and thick, but balanced by the hallmark Barbera acidity. Very well balanced. Great value to boot.

Very nice! Bright, nice tang to it -- Becky liked too. Maybe served to us a bit too cold? Full of fruit!
