Jim Olsen White Barbera Sierra Foothills 2016
About the wine
Jim got $100,000 to make a sweet WHITE from a bold Italian RED!
- In 2016, you gave Jim Olsen $100,000 and ultimate freedom to make the wine of his dreams as the winner of Winemaker Fantasy – this White Barbera is it!
- When Jim harvested red Barbera and immediately removed the skins, he kept all of the bright, sweet, and creamy flavors intact – like cherries, oranges and vanilla cream. Anyone else craving cannoli?
- Says Jim: "This White Barbera is absolutely unique. Full of youthful vibrancy, a fresh, crisp acidity, and a haunting finish – like the sweetest, ripest preserved cherry you've had in your life."
