For the current vintage of this wine, the winemaker describes it as a "bright cardinal red." As an avid St. Louis Cardinals' baseball fan, that is enough to attract my attention. One sniff and sip convinced me that it is indeed worthy of wearing Cardinal red.
Ripe red berries, plums and spice. An exuberant experience in the nose and in the mouth. Acidity that creates almost a tart impression. Teases the taste buds and leaves a long, satisfying after taste. This Barbera usually sells for $25, but I purchased it during a special sale at D&W in Kalamazoo two years ago. The current vintage is now on sale for $14.98 at Plum Market in Ann Arbor, but you will have to go on a wait list to get some. If it's anything like this 2019, it is well worth the wait.
