Rosa d’Oro 2012 Barbera (Clear Lake)

Country: US /
Variety: Barbera California
Winery: Rosa d’Oro / Clear Lake

This has a vivid, ripe, black cherry flavor, with fresh sweetness and bursting acidity. It makes for a gorgeous, generous character buoyed up by firm tannins, a lively texture and finish, and no noticeable oak. A great find from a small, ambitious Lake County winery that loves Italian varietals.
