Beringer Bros. 2019 Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend

Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged California Red Wine Blend is aged 60 days in American oak bourbon barrels for rich vanilla and caramel notes, delivered on succulent black and red fruit. This is a red wine that’s as much about flavor as it is about mouthfeelsatisfying and full with a lingering finish. 145 years ago, brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer left Germany to found a winery and distillery in Napa. Reusing 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.

Tasting Notes

This wine is bursting with aromas of ripe blackberry, roasted hazelnuts, and caramel. The intense concentration is bolstered by Petit Verdot, this full bodied wine has a creamy mouth feel with ripe tannins and integrated acidity. The lingering finish boasts notes of toasted hazelnut, coconut, violet, and black cherry.
