Andis, Amador County (California) Barbera 2012

Mar 2, 2016

By Rich Cook

Cooper Ranch is a prime spot for California Barbera, with many producers sourcing its fruit.  This bottling from Andis shows big bacon and bramble aromas that become rich flavors without becoming overdriven thanks to Barbera’s naturally high acidity. The finish is long and brings the fruit to the fore, with pleasant fall spice notes joining in.  It’s a big boy, and a prime example of the style.  Grillin’ time.  A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
