RARING TO GO!
NORTH COAST AND CLASSIC CALIFORNIA WINES
“Our fastest growing new release is the Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon. A portion of the wine was aged in bourbon barrels for three months with the rest in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The result is a medium-full bodied wine with intriguing bourbon aromas and flavors that complement the Cabernet’s dark fruit. Give it a try when you’re ready for something a little different. I usually serve it at the end of a meal.”

RARE BARRELS
BOURBON BARREL CABERNET SAUVIGNONCalifornia | 2020
Winemakers Notes: This full-bodied release was partially aged in bourbon barrels for three months to add an intriguing whisky aroma and flavor profile that complements the Cabernet Sauvignon. The balance of the cuvée’ was aged in French and American oak for 18-20 months. The result is a unique flavor experience that enriches Cabernet Sauvignon with hints of America’s unique distilled spirit. Tasting Notes: The robust layers of vibrant dark cherry, blackberry, cocoa and vanilla spice flavors are followed by a lingering finish. There’s just enough bourbon barrel influence to enhance the Cabernet character without overwhelming the other components. |
