The Federalist Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning red wine hailing from California's wine country. This rich and robust Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 6 months in charred American oak barrels previously used to age bourbon, imparting a unique flavor profile of toasted vanilla, caramel, and a hint of smoke. The result is a wine with an impressive depth of flavor that is both smooth and complex. The Federalist Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark garnet color and offers aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, flavors of dark fruit, spice, and toasted oak are perfectly balanced with a firm tannic structure. This wine is perfect to enjoy on its own or paired with rich, hearty dishes.

Tasting Notes

The Federalist Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon has a good entrance, full-bodied with a long finish, fine tannins, juicy red fruit profile layered with a hint of sweetness from the oak, fresh and zippy, well-balanced.
