About this bottle
1000 Stories Gold Rush Red is a California red blend built around Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, aged first in American and French oak and then finished in used bourbon barrels — the same trick the brand built its name on with its bourbon-barrel Zinfandel. This 2016 vintage comes from Mendocino County fruit, and the bourbon-barrel finish pushes it toward vanilla, toasted coconut, and a touch of char alongside the dark-fruit base of the blend. Expect blackberry and plum on the nose, a broad, slightly sweet-oak palate, and a long finish. It's a bold, dessert-adjacent red for people who like their wine to taste a little like a barrel-aged spirit.
How to drink 1000 Stories Gold Rush Red
Serve it at cool room temperature, around 60-65°F, in a standard red wine glass — a slight chill actually helps tame the oak-driven sweetness. It's a natural with barbecue, grilled steak, or anything with a char on it, since the bourbon-barrel character echoes the smoke.
