Cooper And Thief Red Bourbon Barrel

Description

VINTAGE The 2014 vintage came in early with loose clusters, small berries, and intense, ripe flavors. The warm summer resulted in even ripening and allowed the seeds to mature in step with the sugar development. The resulting wine shows excellent balance with soft, approachable tannin levels.TASTING Cooper & Thief is a DARK AND JAMMY red blend loaded with bourbon-inspired flavors and aromas. Aging for three months in ex-bourbon barrels gives way to soft velvety tannins with a subtle heat. The combined result is a RICH FLAVOR WITH A LONG, LINGERING FINISH.SOURCING We take quality grapes from vineyards across California and stash them in ex bourbon barrels for three months Where do we get our barrels…therein lies the mischief and a secret we keep for ourselves. The California appellation allows us the flexibility to continue to source quality grapes from the best regions each vintage. – Cooper and Thief Cellarmasters
