Beringer Bros. 2018 Beringer Bros Rye Barrel Red Blend

Beringer Bros. Rye Barrel Aged California Red Wine Blend is aged 60 days in rye whiskey barrels, delivering red cherry and blackberry fruit flavors with rich vanilla and floral notes. This balanced red wine blend is rich and intense, and it pairs beautifully with a flatbread or wood-fired pizza. 145 years ago, brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer left Germany to found a winery and distillery in Napa. Reusing their spirits barrels to age wine just seemed like good financial sense, but they discovered it added a whole new level of complexity. Today, we honor Jacob and Fredericks pioneering spirit by aging Beringer Bros. wines in spirits barrels.
