Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
Barbera is an Italian wine grape variety that originates from Piedmonte, Italy, but seems to thrive in hot growing sites, such as we have here in the Columbia Valley. Great growing sites, such as we found for this wine at Elephant Mountain Vineyard (60%) and Millbrandt Vineyard (40%) allow production of Barbera that is long-aging, robust with intense fruit, enhanced tannic content and with some aging potential. This Kana Winery 2004 Barbera shows a deep ruby color, raspberry and blackberry fruit notes, and a full body. It has moderate chalky tannins that are balanced by a high level of acidity. It finishes long in the mouth into beautiful boysenberry fruit. 145 cases were produced. No other wine has the versatility that can cut through tomato sauce or compliment a steak as nicely as Barbera wine. We think this 2004 Barbera is the perfect pizza wine. PPW 9/05
