Montevina 2005 Terra d’Oro Barbera (Amador County)

Country: US / Terra d’Oro
Variety: Barbera California
Winery: Montevina / Amador County

Fans of Barbera will find the hard acids and thick tannins they love in this rustic Italian variety. The flavors are all dry: dried blackberries and cherries, dried leather, cured tobacco leaf, beef jerky, star anise. Yet there’s a fruity sweetness that’s charming. Great with almost anything starring sausage.
