2001 Renwood Barbera: A+

Ted thinks that the Renwood 2001 Barbera is spicy, peppery but velvety. It has deep cherry with earthy tones. It has enough body to hold up well to spicy food - even the panang curry we had for dinner tonight. Ted says simply "a delicious wine, I would say." He's right. Josh adds that this has something more complex in it's structure - a successful balance of more flavors than the Stryker we've also reviewed. That being said, the Stryker is a wine that we'd want a CASE of, because it's versatile and yummy. *This wine is plainly in a higher class of the wines we normally drink. It's an A+ on the greatjuice scale.
