Bourbon Barrel-Aged California Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
Super fun. I get oodles of berries and vanilla it is warming me on a chilly (in LA terms) spring eve. Maybe it’s power if suggestion but I get this oomph and texture that is in fact reminiscent of Bourbon. I happen to adore bourbon so this is totally chill with me. Mayhaps I should use it to top a New York Sour made with bourbon!

Deep purple in color with a reddish/ purple rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, blackcurrants, black plums, cooked cherries, light wood, spices, alcohol, light vegetables, dust and black pepper.
Full bodied, bold and jammy, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity (some RS) on the palate with plums, cherries, currants, oak, spices, earth, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, leather and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Very fruity, rich and extracted with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up, and the fruits chill out for a bit (90 minutes).
Not very heavy on the Bourbon style, and tastes like others in this category, which is fine with me. Might be too sweet for some.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$18.

V17. Very enjoyable. Olive and cedar nose. Black currant fruit. Balanced, round, zippy mocha and chocolate finish . Great entertaining wine, hard not to like.
