2001 Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Rabaja

Barbaresco, the strong and sexy wine made of Nebbiolo grapes from the Piedmont region of Italy is known by wine lovers as being a delicious companion for beef dishes and is way to experience something other than those Napa cult Cabernets (delightful though they are). An article by father-and-daughter wine writing duo, Frank and Kate Sutherland, rates five Barbarescos with an eye toward finding tastes of black and red fruit.2001 They gave top honors to the Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Rabaja praising the aromas of blackberries and Dr. Pepper-like sarsaparilla. It was the most expensive wine on their list (they say it costs $109.99 but it can be found for as low as around $90 at various places) but they report it is worth the money. The wine has also received a 93 from Wine Spectator. It's definitely going on my want-to-drink list.
