Rated vintages

  • 201489 pts

    Effusive fruit flavors and a vibrant texture make this wine easy to pair with a meal. Spicy, chocolatey aromas meet cherry and raspberry flavors while full body lends richness in the mouthfeel and length on the finish.

  • 201386 pts

    Earthy, leathery aromas and dense tobacco and cedar flavors make this wine a bit of a taste adventure. The mouthfeel is posh and finely tannic, and black cherry and dark chocolate notes kick in and last through the finish.

  • 201186 pts

    Light in color, smooth, soft with a trace of astringency to the background, it shows off Barbera's marriage of acidity and denseness. It's a heavier version for sure, with spice and rustic black cherry.

  • 200988 pts

    Pungent of baked plum and baking spice, this Shenandoah Barbera is soft and rustic, yet refined, with a jolt of mocha espresso on the finish. The expert acidity enveloping this wine should pair with Mediterrean-themed food.

  • 200784 pts

    Acidity dominates this wine, giving it a tart, almost sour taste. Couple that with the sizable tannins, and you have an uncomfortable wine. Call it rustic, old world. The blackberry, currant, coffee and herb flavors are fine.
