Nice enough Barbera, opened with Matt's San Soufre. This wine was nice, not exceptional.

Only 97 cases made of this 2013 Barbera from winemaker Matthew Rorick out in Cali. Small plot, unique grape bold winemaking and a taste to match. Tough to source but worth it. Especially for a long Amtrak ride.

Bi rite wine guy called this winemaker the best in CA. I might agree! Velvety, smooth, funky, and delish.
