Score: 88Vintage 2020Wine EnthusiastRich and lots of wine. Mixed plums, cherries and lots of oak spice. Firm tannins. Only thing that saves the wine is the acidity. Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2019James SucklingAn earthy, lightly tarry nose with rich dark berry, vanilla and chocolate flavors. On the palate it's full and structured, with fine, taut, meaty tannins, offering a supple feel and a lingering aftertaste. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2018Wine SpectatorThough rich and densely structured, this red is also bracing and expressive, with black cherry, blackberry, earth, almond and juniper flavors accented by hints of oak. Finishes on the firm side. Drink now through 2027. 400 cases made, 50 cases imported. Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2018Wine AdvocateThe Garesio 2018 Nizza is a clean and simple expression of Barbera. The wine shows sharp lines and simple fruit flavors of dark blackberry and plum. Sweet tea leaf or aroma of dried apricot gives the wine an easy, open approach. This is a stripped-down and easy red wine.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 93Vintage 2016Wine SpectatorUnderscored by flashy new oak, this red delivers blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Offers a solid core, but needs time for all the facets to show. Delivers terrific balance and length. Drink now through 2027. 7,000 cases made, 50 cases imported. –BSShelf TalkerFull Page Review
