Wine Review: I’ve tasted this wine 3 times in the last month and have liked it each time. The wine has a pleasant sweet bouquet. This is a very nice medium bodied wine. It is well balanced and has very solid sweet cherry flavors. Renwood has done a good job taming a hearty grape. This wine would pair well with grilled steak tips slathered with Sweet Baby Ray’s barbeque sauce. The finish is a bit dry and has a lengthy flavorful finish. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2004 Barbera is a brick red color and displays aromas of raspberry and chocolate. Moderate acidity with a soft mouthfeel are the hallmarks of the short hot season, Scents of vanilla and caramel flavors from the small oak barrel aging complement the fruit aromas and flavors. Approachable now, this is a very nice wine to drink young.
