Northridge Vineyard Cervo Barbera 750 ml

Description

This wine smells terrific. Red berry, cranberry, black plum skin, fresh snow, alpine air and tobacco. Pine needles carry from the first sniff and then amplify in the mouth in the most charming way.

Current & Past Scores 92 Points, James Suckling (v2020) “Aromas of dried herbs and flowers, sour cherries and red licorice. Medium-to fullbodied with silky tannins. Good acidity here. I like the spacious feel on the palate, with pure fruit character. Charming sage at the finish. Drink now.” 90 Points, Vinous–Owen Bargreen (v2020) “Sourced from an old block in the Northridge vineyard, set on limestone and volcanic soils, the 2020 Barbera Cervo shows pretty black florals alongside wild blackberry and shades of baking spices on the nose. The palate is very smooth, offering light tannins that combine with ripe red and dark fruits and salty and savory tones.” 89 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (v2020) 89 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (v2020)
