R (Jeff Runquist), Amador County, Cooper Vineyard, Barbera 2007
There is a sweet, liquer-like sense to the nose, with plenty of vanilla. The fruit drives the flavors in the mouth with a heavy wack of oak for richness and the characteristic acidity of Barbera to keep it lively. Winemaker Jeff Runquist and grower Dick Cooper.
