8.3

Actually pretty decent for a $9 bottle. A little more buttery and a little less fruity than we would usually like, but nicely dry and went well with a vaguely Asian chicken dinner. Decent find. — 8 years ago

Fairly fruity, light, not super tannic. Went over well with wife-made steak. Not a knockout, but a nice drinking bottle. — 8 years ago

7.5

Not as nice as some of the other barberas we've had recently; seems maybe just a little young? More alcoholy than we were expecting. Matched the usual flavor profiles of the other ones we like, but just sharper, and not in a good way... — 8 years ago

7.1

Surprisingly buttery for a red, not a lot of fruit. Mellowed a little after being open for awhile, but. Nothing I'd turn my nose up at, but nothing I'd go out of my way to recommend. Aged in bourbon barrels is a good, easy sales pitch tho, if we needed something to please bros... — 8 years ago
