Sonoma Valley Zinfandel-Cabernet with grape skins
Eclipse
Ready in 8 weeks
$222.00
$222.00
Better with Bourbon. Straight up. Available July 12th for a limited time.

A robust blend of Zinfandel and Cabernet enhanced by the addition of oak chips from authentic Kentucky Bourbon Barrels.

Dry Creek Valley is a premium wine growing region in northern Sonoma County, California. World renowned for its Zinfandel, blocks of old-vines mark the area, many having survived prohibition when many vines were removed. You won’t find any traffic lights in Dry Creek Valley, but you will find fertile soil and ideal growing conditions.

Inviting toasty notes on the nose lead to flavours of jammy blackberry, cherry and plum. Bourbon nuances of toasted vanilla, spice and a hint of caramel provide for a long smooth finish.

Keep it casual with gourmet burgers topped with roasted tomatoes, red peppers and caramelized onions or take it up a notch with well-marbled grilled rib steak and sauteed mushrooms.
