Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2021 Amador Barbera has a purple color of medium depth with a youthful garnet hue. The primary aromas of this wine are briary red raspberry, cherry, and plum. One of the distinguishing features of our Barbera is that it is aged in small barrels for almost a year, providing the wine with a bouquet that features toasty oak along with notes of hazelnut, mocha, and milk chocolate. On the palate this wine has a creamy richness, yet it remains bright and juicy. Flavors of mulberry and raspberry along with sweet caramel oak are delivered by a wine with soft smooth tannins. The finish is long and harmonious with a toasty oak nuance that lingers long after the wine is gone."
