Country: US / Topolos Vineyard Mr. Beast
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Barber / Sonoma Mountain
This bottling has had its problems over the years, and while Barber’s ’12 is their best effort to date, it’s still troubled. The fruit is overripe, with raisin and prune notes and bitter raisin-skin tannins. Still, you can gulp it down with barbecue.
