Step into a piece of American history with the 1924 Double Black Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is more than just a bottle; it is a tribute to the Indelicato family’s rebellious spirit, originating from a time when vineyards were first planted in 1924, right in the heart of the Prohibition era. Hailing from the sun-drenched, breeze-cooled vineyards of Lodi, California, this Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted for those who appreciate boldness and complexity.
What sets this wine apart is its unique aging process. After traditional fermentation, a portion of the wine is aged in genuine Bourbon barrels. This unconventional technique imparts a distinctively rich, 'Double Black' character, infusing the classic dark fruit profile of the Cabernet grape—think juicy blackberries and ripe plums—with decadent, whiskey-inspired notes of butterscotch, brown sugar, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, and intensely flavorful, offering a smooth experience that bridges the gap between fine wine and the warmth of a premium spirit.
This wine is a perfect companion for hearty, flavorful dishes. Its bold structure stands up beautifully to charred steaks, roast lamb, or even smoky barbecue ribs. If you prefer a meat-free pairing, it shines alongside aged hard cheeses like a sharp cheddar or a complex gouda, and it is an exceptional partner for dark chocolate desserts. For the best experience, we recommend decanting it for about 30 minutes before serving at a cellar temperature of around 17°C. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening, the 1924 Double Black offers a sophisticated, conversation-starting drinking experience that celebrates the daring nature of its heritage.
