Chris James Cellars 2018 Barbera

Chris James Cellars 2018 Barbera


Carlton Oregon's Chris James Cellars used fruit from Walla Walla Valley for this fine example of Northwest Barbera. On the nose, hints of dried strawberry mix with prominent floral and herbal aromas including black peppercorn, dried herbs, lavender and tobacco. On the palate, it's beautifully structured with acids alluding to tart cherry that are balanced with tannins that carry earthy notes of clay pot, a dusting of espresso and more dried herbs.
