Woodward Canyon Winery 2012 Estate Barbera, Walla Walla Valley, $29
By Great Northwest Wine on July 7, 2014
Rick Small’s sustainably farmed vineyard has been growing this Italian variety since the 1990s, and the results from this remarkable vintage are stunning. He used 500-liter Italian barrels, as well as new French oak, to create aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate, walnut and forest floor. A bold entry leads to ripe and dark black fruit flavors, backed by easy tannins and good acidity. It’s a luscious drink crafted to serve with dishes from northern Italian such as braised beef, pork or veal with risotto. This wine earned a gold medal at the 2014 Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition.
