Cabernet Sauvignon aged in Bourbon Barrels

A Limited Release offering from Robert Mondavi

After my mixed review of Apothic Inferno — a red blend aged 10 months in whiskey barrels, I became curious about this concept. I know it’s nothing new, per se, but it’s a something I don’t have a lot of tasting experience in. Knowing that there are a few, shall we say, well-established wine producers dabbling in this art, I thought I’d give it another go. And you can’t argue that Robert Mondavi is one of the most well-established California wineries to date.

So hold on to your horses, cowboys, Briscoe’s going Bourbon Barrel bobbing…
