Pale to medium garnet colored, the 2009 Limited Release Barbera gives a moderate intensity of earthy warm cherry and spice aromas with notes of forest floor and tree moss over anise, cardamom and cumin. Medium-bodied, it has a good amount of spiced cherry flavors with crisp acid and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long. This is an elegant, very successful effort for an unusual grape in the Hunter! Drink it now to 2015. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
