Cooper & Thief Red Blend 2019 750ml

Cooper & Thief Red Blend 2019 is a California red blend finished in used bourbon barrels, the signature move that gives the brand its name. That barrel time pulls in vanilla, toasted oak, and a whiskey-like warmth alongside the wine's core of blackberry and plum fruit. On the palate expect jammy dark fruit up front, a savory char note in the middle, and a finish that leans sweeter and smokier than a typical red blend. It's a bolder, more dessert-adjacent pour than most table reds. This is the bottle for someone who likes bourbon as much as wine and wants a glass that splits the difference.

How to drink Cooper & Thief Red Blend

Serve it slightly below room temperature in a regular wine glass — the bourbon-barrel sweetness gets cloying if it's too warm. It stands up fine to a single ice cube if you want it more like a cooler, chilled bourbon cocktail. Good with barbecue, grilled sausage, or dessert instead of a nightcap.
