2019 Andis Wines Barbera d’Amador, Sierra Foothills
Tasting Notes
Barbera is an Italian grape variety that made its way to the Sierra Foothills in the late 1800s and still thrives here today. The variety’s natural acidity and deep color make it a great option for blends but also a wonderful stand-alone wine. It packs in plenty of red and black cherry and pomegranate flavors, rounding them with moderate, well-integrated tannins for a luxurious mouthfeel.

2019 Andis Wines Barbera d’Amador - $40 = 16.66%
Hello, here is our review of the 2019 And is Wines Barbera d’Amador:
This is a lovely wine with Big fruit, it has layers of strawberry and cranberry. This is a dry wine, but lends a slight sweetness, but in an under ripe fruit kind of way. It add a full rounded character to the opening and middle.
I see there is only 0.2 g/l of residual sugar, which seems to be the perfect amount.
It’s really easy to drink, little tannin, and big acidity on the finish, if you like that.
I prefer tannic wines, and like Sangiovese and Merlot. My Wife much prefers wine like this, with less tannin and more fruit. She absolutely loved this wine and thought that it would be particularly well suited with food. She didn’t find that the oak stood out much at all.
She writes:
“This would be awesome as an appetizer or after dinner kind of wine, pairing perfectly with anything creamy.
Goat cheese or brie would be killer here, walnuts or something slightly bitter and nutty. Alternatively, a slice of right chocolate cake would compliment perfectly. I would also go back to this wine for a picnic, brunch or easy drinking moment where something heavy and oak’ed will not do.”
Hopefully that provided you with good information, and I’m happy to answer any questions.
@ScottHarveyWine Hi Scott - Just had your Barbera at a wine tasting I conducted for friends. So much going on in the nose and the palate. I have pulled another one up for a drink soon, but now am reluctant to open it until I am sure I can enjoy it fully.

MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@lastgoodbye thank you for the rattage. I like the chocolate cake pairing
You had me at Barbera from Amador County. It’s the fastest growing varietal in the neighborhood for a reason. In for a case!
In for a case.

Interestingly, this same wine is being sold on another major wine site today for $27/ bottle. Hooray for Wine David!
@oncman529 not quite, the other wine is a Zinfandel. Same producer though.
@deadlyapp Correct. Sorry for the mistake
This is the winery across the street from me. My ex-wife, Terri farms this vineyard. I like this wine a lot and have some of it in my cellar.
Cheers

Wish this was their Zin.
Just finished my last bottle of @ScottHarveyWine; which I really enjoyed, I’m in.
