2020 Barbera, Shake Ridge Ranch, 92 Points
Beautiful, layered aromas release from the glass almost immediately. The nose suggests crushed rose and violet petals, red and black plum, red and black cherry, and fresh marionberry. It also conveys hints of chocolate and vanilla as well as an earthiness reminiscent of damp forest floor and fresh mountain air. The palate imparts gentle-coating, fine-grained tannins. Acidity elevates the fresh fruit components, allowing for a lingering finish. — Stacy Briscoe, Wine Enthusiast
2021 Barbera, Shake Ridge Ranch, 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
“Ruby-jewel red in the glass, this varietal Barbera from Amador emits immediate aromatics of red and black cherry and plum, Mission fig, fennel, cacao, roasted coffee bean, walnut skin. The palate is rich, concentrated, driven by a generous dose of acidity while firm, structural tannins coat the cheeks. Medium-to-full body in weight, find additional notes of anise, black pepper, tobacco, prune and fruit leather.:— Stacy Briscoe, Wine Enthusiast
