Jeff Runquist 2009 R Barbera

Home > Wines > Eclectic Reds > Jeff Runquist 2009 R Barbera

The 2009 Amador Barbera has a deep garnet purple color with a carmine edge to the hue. The aromas show plenty of black raspberry and dark cherry fruit. The bouquet features toasty oak with notes of mocha and milk chocolate. On the palate this wine is rich and creamy and not what you would expect from a grape known for its thin acid nature. Growing Barbera in the foothills gives the grapes an opportunity to develop color and flavor and soften their acids. The result is a fully textured wine with loads of red/black fruit flavors. In keeping with our ‘house style’ the tannins are mature and well integrated. The finish is long and harmonious with a toasty oak nuance that lingers long after the wine is gone.
