Better than the 2021 release, Barbera is the flagship wine in the First Ridge range. A fabulous drink, I could get very comfortable here.
Delicate fruits muse and are highlighted by sour cherries, dark cherries and plums with a flicker of black currants. A little dark chocolate and vanilla pod enters the frame late. It glides about carefree with smooth, rounded edges. Great acidity with a little varietal crunch shapes this wonderfully. It's quite impressive.
