Taste the effects of Bourbon barrels on Zinfandel
ABOUT THIS WINE:
1000 Stories
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Zinfandel
Each batch of 1000 Stories is crafted individually and is unique in its final profile. Batch 62—the final batch from the excellent 2017 vintage is exceptionally smooth, with a ripe raspberry character indicative of Mendocino County’s sun-drenched Zinfandel wines. The wine marries Mendocino’s historic old-vine Zinfandel sites with vineyards in Paso Robles, Lodi, and Amador County. In signature 1000 Stories fashion, this batch was aged in traditional French and American oak, with a portion finished in charred bourbon barrels before the final blend was assembled.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

TASTING NOTES:

Spices
Vanilla
It has a core of ripe fruit, accented by fragrant notes of spice box and sauteed herbs, while Petite Sirah imparts considerable density. The bourbon barrels impart charred vanilla and dried herbs that play off of berry bramble and savory notes.
