Bourbon Barrel-Aged Bundle
Our story began with an exploration of different barrel aging techniques. Instead of traditional barrels, we were one of the first to experiment with aging our wines in Bourbon Barrels. This bundle is a celebration of our origin story. Experience the winemaking style that gave us our start and enjoy the wines that put 1000 Stories on the map.
Historically, American oak barrels were always made for Bourbon and Whiskey. The barrels we use are 4-10 years old and have been soaked in Bourbon, with the inside of the barrels blackened or charred to bring out the intensity of the flavors. This bundle includes:
1000 Stories Zinfandel is released in batches to reflect a unique mix of wine grape varieties, vineyards and bourbon barrels—no two batches are the same. Our Zinfandel Batch 88 is light to medium bodied with a soft tannin structure and lengthy finish. The layered flavors of Zinfandel coupled with our bold bourbon barrel aging method result in notes of cranberries, prunes, Marcona almonds, toffee, oregano and thyme. Brilliant garnet in color with a slight purple hue, this wine is ready to drink now or cellar for up to 3 years.
This medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is brilliant in color; dark mahogany red with a slight purple hue. Driven by a pioneering spirit, the wine expresses notes of dried herb and caramel, signature bourbon barrel characteristics brought on by our unique barrel aging process. These unique notes are complemented by traditional Cabernet Sauvignon flavors of dark cherry, prune, blueberry and tobacco. The layered flavor profile is accentuated by structure and a long finish. Drink now or cellar for up to four years.
Our 2019 Red Blend is a fruit-forward blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Teroldego. 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. The creation of this well-structured blend culminates in bourbon-barrel aging, giving the wine a finish of charred vanilla and dried herbs.
