Is Bourbon Barrels Aged Red blend a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Bordeaux blend in american style: Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, aged for 6 months in Americans oak followed by another 6 months in bourbon barrels! Medium + bodied, burgundy color, smell of overripe red cherry, raspberry, coca-cola, dark spices. Rich taste, full of notes of jam cherry, raspberry, spices, caramel, vanilla, tobacco wood from the bourbon barrels, low acidity, soft tannins, 15% alcohol, and a long, long finish full of caramel. Big fan of this winery!”
