How it all began
Curiosity That Ignited A New Category
Classically-trained and celebrated winemaker Bob Blue broke boundaries in 2013 when he began aging Zinfandel in bourbon barrels. The resulting wine’s depth of flavor and complexity would become the first chapter of 1000 Stories, California’s first bourbon barrel-aged wine.

Pinot Noir
PTS
A Story Born From Seasoned American Oak
Our bold Pinot Noir brings distinct notes of wild cherry, black raspberry, vanilla, and coconut oil. These deepen alongside hints of earth and allspice from American oak sourced from eastern Minnesota and seasoned outdoors for a minimum of 24 months.

Zinfandel
A New Story Unfolds With Every Batch
1000 Stories Zinfandel is released in batches to reflect a unique mix of grape varieties, vineyards and bourbon barrels—no two batches are the same. The layered flavors of Zinfandel coupled with our bold barrel ageing method result in notes of cranberries, prunes, Marcona almonds, toffee, oregano and thyme.

Cabernet Sauvignon
PTS
A Journey in Barrel Aging
Each lot began its journey in traditional French and American oak wine barrels and finished in signature bourbon barrels. Our unique barrel aging process gives this wine hints of caramel, dried herbs, and even a touch of smokiness on top of classic Cabernet flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, prune, and tobacco.

Red Blend
A Harmonious Compilation
Each varietal in this powerful, lush red wine plays a part in the flavor profile: Merlot lends ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit, Zinfandel brings the spice, the wine's inky purple hue and pleasing minerality are compliments of Petite Sirah, while Teroldego rounds out the blend with bright notes of cranberry and pomegranate. This red blend culminates in a bourbon-barrel finish of dried herbs and charred vanilla.

Chardonnay
PTS
A bold take on a classic
Crafted from vineyards throughout California, this Chardonnay boasts flavors of yellow apple, marzipan and clove. Finishing in American oak barrels gives the wine new layers of complimentary complex notes of marshmallow, coconut oil and vanilla bean.

Sauvignon Blanc
PTS
A New Chapter
The 1000 Stories 2022 Sauvignon Blanc balances stone fruit notes of white nectarine with the juicy citrus character of pomelo. Hints of fresh-cut grass are underscored by a backbone of minerality. The finish is crisp and bright, with excellent acidity.
