French Hill 2005 Grand Reserve Barbera (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Barbera
Winery: French Hill / Grand Reserve

Tastes young, sharp in acids and jammy sweet right now, with upfront cherry, raspberry and blackberry flavors. But after all, it is a California Barbera, and these puppies age forever. Give it some time, but don’t expect it ever to become sophisticated.
