Naggiar 2010 Estate Grown Barbera (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Barbera California
Winery: Naggiar / Sierra Foothills

Two profiles emerge in this deep-colored, ripe-tasting and very dry Barbera. It smells and, at first, tastes almost overripe and pruny, with a soft, broad texture. Then the firm acidity and slightly tough tannins kick in on the finish. Not an ideal balance, but it will be good with especially rich dishes.
