Really Good
This was fantastic. Should have bought more.
Leah
Delicious!
This needs some time to open up but then explodes with tart cherry and a dry finish. Would be great with a steak. Fantastic value.

Earthy
Let it breathe a bit. Enjoyed it with some filets for Christmas dinner. The tobacco and. Leather earthiness is out front, nice and dry. Cherry mouthfeel. The dark red fruit is perfect. Well done
Alan
A nice Barbera after some aging
This Barbera needed some aging to mellow out. Very nice fruit.

Dry
If you want low sugar content wine, this is it. Dry, chalky, and tannic. Very classy wine if you want to connect with the soil.
David
Wonderful
Wonderful wine. A bit of a black fruit bomb with notes of blackberry, blueberry and pomegranate. Has a great tart finish!
Nick
Great!
After a two hour decant Lot 691 leapt out of the glass. It's a vibrant, juicy wine with lots of minerality and structure...like blackberry jam over crushed rock
Patricia
So good!
This was fruity with hints of dark pitted fruits. So flavorful. Really great price !!

Nice for the price
From my first mixed case joining CH and this was certainly drinkable but not my favorite. But a big part of wine is trying new things and CH gives me that chance. This was from my initial membership but I just ordered my 4th mixed case. You can't beat CH for selection and price!

Nice Wine
For the price this was a good wine. It was a bit light bodied compared to my usual favorite Barbara but had a nice taste.
