Aged in Stainless and for 3 months in Bourbon Barrels, a blend of Zinfandel, Petite Verdot & Cab Sauv. Aromas of fruit and sweet spice notes. On the palate sweet dark berry fruits with cacao and leather. Rustic tannins, lingering, ending with sweet character, smoky notes and a bit hot with alcohol. Not a fan of Bourbon Barrel aging and this one didn’t change my mind. Tasting Sample.

Thin, slightly Smokey. Way better balanced than othr bourbon barrel aged reds I’ve had…buuuuut I officially think bourbon should be kept out of wine making though. Not a fan but not NOT a fan.

This is a very good wine! I almost had buyers remorse as I didn’t read some of the reviews on here before buying. Well, what’s ya know; the reviews must have been on a bad day as this is a very good red blend right out of the bottle. And it’s excellent for just drinking or with food. Medium bodied with a nice, smooth mouthfeel and mild tannins. More berries than fruit on the palate and very smooth. The bourbon barrel aging is barely discernible and actually imparts a very slight sweet taste that enhances rather than distracts. Definitely a bargain at a BOGO sale.

Acidity and cream come in at the same time. Big alcohol finish

Nice. Hot. Balanced and not too jammy.
