2013 Top 100 - Rank # 17
A Matthew Rorick creation of 100 % Barbera from the Shake Ridge Vineyard. The nose is amazing, with lively aromas of brambleberry, black tea, licorice, cherry, blackberry, spice box, graphite and rose pedal. It is very well made and the acidity is integrated through the palate. This finishes up with bright fruit and long mouth coating finish. Don't pass this up, only 17 cases made.
