About the wine
Bold, refined Reserve Barbera from your reigning Winemaker of the Year
- This big, Reserve-level Barbera is full of brooding, deeply concentrated dark fruit flavors that lead into a long, luxurious finish.
- Barbera is a first-rate classic red over in Italy, but in Northern California? Not so much. In fact, it’s exceedingly rare on the West Coast, but with your funding behind her, Karen set out to prove just how decadent a Barbera from her beloved home region of Lodi could really be.
- With your support, Karen sourced her grapes from a single vineyard of Barbera growing in the southern hills of Lodi and even gave the wine an extra year of barrel aging in American oak. The result? A truly stunning Karen original that's giving Italy a run for its money!
Best before
This Reserve Barbera is delicious now, but its flavors will keep developing with age, Karen says. Buy a few bottles and taste the flavors as they change over time.
Serving advice
Let it rest in your cellar, be patient and enjoy it any time over the next few years.
Food match
Great pairings include wild mushroom risotto, meatballs with gnocchi or wine-braised short ribs.
