Courier-Journal - "Though long grown in California, this black grape is most closely identified with Italy’s Piedmont region. It yields lean, frisky reds notable for their crisp acidity. In California, barbera has less acidity. Its bright fruit is no less flexible at dinner time."
Sacramento Bee - "The Shannon Ridge is a firm, balanced and medium-bodied interpretation of barbera, with sweet berry fruit and a subtle complexity unusual for this varietal."
MSNBC - TODAY Wine News and Views - "The best barbera I’ve ever had," said one taster...its deep plum and dark cherry notes are matched by a perfumed nose and a hint of warm oak — all of which complement food off the grill.
