1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel 750ml

1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel is a California red wine finished in used bourbon barrels after primary aging, a technique 1000 Stories built its whole lineup around. The Zinfandel grapes are sourced from California vineyards, fermented and aged before spending additional time in charred bourbon oak to pick up extra color, spice, and sweetness from the wood. Expect a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, vanilla, and baking spice; the palate is bold and jammy with dark fruit, a touch of oak char, and a smooth, slightly sweet finish reminiscent of the bourbon barrels themselves. It's built for drinkers who like a big, fruit-forward red with a whiskey-adjacent twist, best alongside grilled or smoked meats.

How to drink 1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel

Serve it slightly below typical red wine temperature to keep the fruit from tipping into jammy. It's a natural match for grilled steak, barbecue, or anything smoked, where the bourbon-barrel char in the wine echoes the char on the plate.
