Deep-intensity purple-to-ruby in color this wine has a pronounced, aromatic nose of black currant, black plum and black cherry with some notes of vanilla baking spice. On the palate the dry, full-bodied barbera expresses black fruit flavors suggested on the nose in a ripe fruit style. The wine has ripe, medium-plus tannin and acidity that completes with a long finish. It also has flavor concentration and complexity of flavor.
