Montevina Barbera Website
Aaron: I liked the standard, oaky smell of this barbera which just enough nutmeg to add complexity. The rich, cocoa and vanilla flavor presented a good nuttiness with some light berries which weren’t too prominent. A little bitter if you don’t let it sit long enough but great with food. 91 points
Teri: I was surprised by this barbera. Normally a blending grape, I didn’t find this bottle as good as the pure barbera wines I have enjoyed in the past. Nutty/jammy flavors of cherry and plum but the flavors seem forced/mass produced. Medium body and heavy oak on the finish. Nothing too spectacular other than a semi-full flavor with nice tannins. 86 points
