Layer Cake Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14.5%)

A California red wine aged in both French oak and old bourbon barrels, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The blend is 89.25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Petite Sirah, 3% Petite Verdot and 1.25% Syrah, sourced from Alexander Valley and Paso Robles. After French oak ageing, it spends three months in charred old bourbon barrels. Aromas of blackberry jam, ripe dark fruit, warm vanilla and caramel lead, with subtle char and toasted oak. The palate is dense and jammy, with black cherry and blackberry, toasted oak spice, light vanilla sweetness, velvety tannins and structural support from Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot. The finish is long and mouth-coating, with lingering dark fruit, a whisper of bourbon-influenced sweetness and warm oak spice.
