Description

Indulge in the rich history and innovative spirit of Beringer Bros. with their Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon. This captivating red wine is a testament to the Beringer family's legacy, blending tradition with a modern twist. The wine is born from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grape, cultivated under the sunny skies of California, ensuring a bold and fruit-forward base. What sets this Cabernet apart is its unique aging process, spending 60 days in bourbon barrels, giving it a distinctive layer of complexity.

The aging in bourbon barrels imparts a symphony of aromas and flavors that elevate this wine beyond the ordinary. You’ll notice the classic dark fruit notes of Cabernet, like black currant and ripe plum, beautifully enhanced by the warm, spicy nuances of vanilla, oak, and a hint of caramel. Each sip is a journey, where robust tannins are softened by the bourbon influence, leading to a velvety smooth finish. The 14.3% alcohol content adds to the wine’s full body and lingering warmth.

This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes that match its boldness. Consider it alongside grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or rich pasta dishes. The complex flavors also make it a wonderful companion to aged cheeses and dark chocolate. To fully appreciate the nuances, serve it slightly chilled at around 18°C after allowing it to breathe for about 15 minutes, which allows its complex flavors to fully develop.

Beringer Bros. has a long history in California, since 1876, and is one of the oldest operating wineries in the region. This Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a direct reflection of the founders, Jacob and Frederick Beringer, who were known for their passion and craftmanship.

This is not just a bottle of wine; it is an experience that celebrates innovation and time-honored traditions. Treat yourself or gift it to someone special and discover the story of Beringer Bros. with every sip.
