Viento 2005 Lonesome Spring Ranch Barbera (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Lonesome Spring Ranch
Variety: Barbera Washington
Winery: Viento / Columbia Valley (WA)

Lovely, light, fresh and delicate, this Barbera is young, juicy and appealing. The fruit mixes light berry flavors with tart, tangy acids; the flavors seem to gather in the mid-palate, showing excellent concentration. No new oak is evident, nor is it missed. The alcohol remains comfortably below 14%, and the fruit is light but quite ripe, with no green edges.
