Region: California
Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
VINEYARDS
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were carefully selected primarily from Mendocino County and San Luis Obispo County. This rich, full-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon expresses a blend of select Cabernet lots; flavors of cherry, currant, graphite, charred vanilla, and dried herbs.
BARRELS & AGING
Each lot began its journey in traditional French and American oak wine barrels. Then, in true 1000 Stories fashion, winemaker Bob Blue finished a small portion of the wine in new bourbon barrels, with the balance aged in neutral bourbon barrels. This unique barrel aging process gave to this wine its hints of burnt sugar, vanilla, dried herbs, and even a touch of smokiness.

TASTING NOTES
DOWNLOAD2016 Zinfandel – Batch 52
Vineyards
The wine marries Mendocino’s historic old-vine Zinfandel sites with vineyards in Paso Robles, Lodi and Amador County. Zinfandel lends a generous core of ripe fruit, accented by fragrant notes of spice box and sautéed herbs, while Petite Sirah imparts considerable density, minerality and an unmistakeable ruby-purple hue. 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.
