tranche barbera (columbia valley (wa))

點擊次數(shù)：1586

The soft but flavorful entry into a land of dark fruits, smoke and espresso barely hints at the wine to come. Give it time to breathe and it opens into a wonderfully complex, smooth and creamy wine with no rough edges. Pretty red fruit, seductive and lingering, is matched to hints of chocolate from 30 months in neutral barrels.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 92

The tart, strawberry flavors of Barbera come into balance, amplified with what seems to be a generous amount of new oak, which contributes lovely caramel throughout the finish. Acids and tannins are in proportion, and the cinnamon toast flavors of the finish end harmoniously. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 88
