Winemaking

We had the unique opportunity present itself to do a collaboration with American Oak Distillery in Bolton Landing towards the end of 2021. They loaned us a few of their bourbon barrels so we could do something fun and new. After some research and trials, we landed on filling those bourbon barrels with our 2021 Cab Sauv. We decided to go a little longer with our aging process (9 months total) in hopes of bringing out some stronger notes of vanilla, creamy caramel, and spice. The result features a balanced wine with characteristics of both our traditional Cab Sauv and our signature profile of bourbon, perfect for a night by a warm fireplace.
