2008 Lodi Barbera

The Woodbridge Winemaker's Selection Barbera from the 2008 vintage is a delightful red wine hailing from the esteemed Lodi region. This wine showcases a medium body, offering a perfect balance between richness and drinkability. It exhibits mild acidity that adds a refreshing touch without overshadowing the fruit. The tannins are subtle, creating a smooth mouthfeel that invites you to savor each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with vibrant notes of ripe cherries and plums that shine through. While this Barbera leans towards dry, it maintains an elegant and approachable character, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions, whether paired with food or enjoyed on its own.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
