Description

Indulge in the unique and captivating experience of Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that seamlessly blends the time-honored tradition of winemaking with the rich, smoky essence of bourbon. Crafted by Beringer, California's oldest continuously operating winery, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to innovation and a commitment to quality.

The journey begins with carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, nurtured under the warm California sun. What sets this wine apart is its aging process: after fermentation, the wine is aged for 60 days in charred bourbon barrels. This imparts a distinctive character that harmoniously marries the classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile with the enticing notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice derived from the bourbon barrels.

Upon pouring, the wine unveils a deep ruby color, hinting at the richness to come. The aroma is an enticing blend of dark fruit – black cherry, plum, and blackberry – layered with the warm, inviting scents of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle hint of bourbon spice.

On the palate, the Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a symphony of flavors. The ripe fruit notes are balanced by smooth tannins and a medium body, creating a well-structured and approachable wine. The bourbon barrel aging lends a velvety texture and contributes flavors of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of smoky sweetness, culminating in a long, satisfying finish.

Pair this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon with a variety of dishes to elevate your dining experience. It's a superb accompaniment to grilled steaks, barbecued ribs, or hearty stews. The wine's rich flavors and smooth tannins also make it a delightful match for aged cheeses and dark chocolate desserts.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is not just a wine; it's an invitation to savor the unexpected. Experience the legacy of Beringer, where tradition meets innovation, and discover a wine that is as unique as it is delicious.

Bit oakey and I can taste the bourbon. Pleasant fruit taste.
