Cooper & Thief Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Cooper & Thief Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon greets you with a bold, velvety texture that makes it perfect for lively gatherings or a cozy night in. With an ABV of 17%, this California-born wine stands out for its unique aging process in bourbon barrels, which imparts extra depth and character to the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

On the palate, rich notes of blackberry and dark cherry mingle with hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak from the bourbon barrel influence. This robust flavor profile pairs beautifully with barbecue ribs, enhancing smoky sweetness, while its full body and subtle spice complement the sharpness of aged cheddar for a memorable tasting experience.
