Tightrope Barbera Fleet Road Vineyard 2023
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA fairly unique red variety in BC, this Barbera from Fleet Road Vineyard on the Naramata Bench opens a little shy at first, then gradually reveals a layered and intriguing nose of earth, clove, black tea, and dried rose petals over a core of red cherry. On the palate, it’s juicy and surprisingly rich, with a mix of red and black fruit supported by vibrant acidity, solid concentration, and ripe tannins. The finish lingers nicely, carrying through with warm spice and freshness.Tasted: 26 March 2026Tasted by: HJ ChaPrices:Grape: Barbera
