Our winemakers are legendary thrill seekers, always looking for new ways to tempt the palate. In their quest to create this distinctive twist on classic Cabernet Sauvignon, they sought grapes from select Alexander Valley Vineyards. This spectacular area of California's North Coast AVA is known for producing fruit with rich, soulful flavors and intense varietal character. To the Cabernet Sauvignon, they added a touch of Merlot and Petite Sirah for balance. Afterwards, the juice was aged for three months in oak barrels previously used to craft 6 year-old Kentucky bourbon, lending a unique, indulgent flavor profile to the wine.
