LODI, CALIFORNIA

A note from the winemaker: Sourced from select Cabernet vineyards from all over coastal California, this wine gains added structure and backbone from its aging regimen. Since bourbon barrels by law need to be 100% new American oak and heavily charred, there is an amazing amount of flavor remaining in the wood. Layered with aromas of blackberry jam, brown sugar, coffee and smoke against a similar palate framed by silky tannins and a hint of toast on the lingering finish.

Food Pairings: pesto sausage wood-fired pizza, BBQ, or steaks.
