Stave & Steel 2015 Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Bourbon Barrel Aged
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Stave & Steel / Paso Robles

The bourbon barrel aging of this bottling is not immediately apparent. Indeed, it is quite herbal on the nose rather than caramelly, with dill prevalent amidst the black plum. The palate packs wet oregano, thyme and licorice against juicy red berries.
