The 2005 Barbera exhibits sweet and sour cherry, licorice, underbrush, and herb notes, excellent density, power, and ripeness, and abundant fruit. It should drink well for 5-6 years. If you haven’t yet discovered Palmina, these are very impressive Italian-inspired wines from one of California’s most brilliant winemakers.Tel. (805) 735-2030; Fax (805) 735-2693
