Wine of the Week - Carivintas NV "Riley" Barbera/Tempranillo

carivintasNVriley

This blend of Barbera and Tempranillo is ideal for fans of dry and sour.

Mostly sugary apple juice on the nose, with notes of strawberry underneath.

Strong tannins and nearly overpowering sourness on your palate, and a little bit of that strawberry coming through.  There's also some black pepper.  A long finish that develops into flavors of red fruit.
