The wine is a harmonious balance of Zinfandel which is bursting with aromatic red fruits and complex black fruit flavors. A touch of Petite Sirah and Syrah enhance those flavors further with bold pepper notes. The batch is then rounded out with a layer of smokiness derived from the bourbon barrels.

Charlie and Bob had acquired some bourbon barrels from a distillery in Kentucky in hopes that wine grown from small parcel of premium Zinfandel and matured in the bourbon barrels would achieve a unique complexity. As time passed, it became clear that the result is an exceptional wine.
