This
wine was light and smooth right out of the bottle without decanting. It is fairly dark with faint legs. The flavor is quite fruit forward as a result
of the rich soil and warm climate of Amador County. While I didn’t try it, I suspect this wine
would go great with BBQ ribs.
What
they say: “The 2010 Amador Barbera has a deep garnet purple color with a
carmine edge to the hue. The aromas show plenty of black raspberry and dark
cherry fruit. The bouquet features toasty oak with notes of mocha and milk
chocolate. On the palate this wine has the unique character of being both
bright and zesty and also rich and creamy. Fourteen months in small oak barrels
has provided the wine with a full texture yet it remains loaded with plenty of
red/black fruit flavors. In keeping with our ‘house style’ the tannins are
mature and well integrated. The finish is long and harmonious with a toasty oak
nuance that lingers long after the wine is gone.” – The following statements
