Jeff Runquist R Series Barbera 2022 Red Wine

Jeff Runquist 2022 Amador Barbera: Double Gold Award Winner

Experience the acclaimed excellence of our 2022 Amador Barbera from California’s Sierra Foothills—a Double Gold Medal champion at the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. This vibrant red wine dazzles with a ruby-purple hue, releasing intoxicating aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, and red currants, elegantly layered with whispers of violet, lavender, vanilla, and toasted hazelnut.

While Barbera typically shines with bright acidity akin to crisp green apples, Jeff Runquist’s craftsmanship delivers a luxurious twist. Savor an unexpectedly velvety, full-bodied texture—rare for this varietal—where succulent red fruit glides across the palate with creamy richness. Notes of mocha, caramel, and gentle oak weave into a seamless, elegant finish that lingers beautifully.

At 15% alcohol, this bold yet balanced California red wine stands apart with its savory depth and approachable sophistication. Perfect for elevating weeknight dinners or impressing at special gatherings, pair it with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or mushroom dishes to unlock its harmonious complexity.

Discover why critics and enthusiasts celebrate this unique expression of Amador County terroir—a bottle where opulence meets tradition.
