Product Description
This Red Blend leads with the velvety-smooth texture of Merlot and the subtle style of Pinot Noir, uniting ripe raspberry and blackberry notes with a thread of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. Petite Sirah lends a deep purple hue and pleasing minerality to the blend, while Zinfandel rounds out the wine’s luscious core of berry and spice. This red blend culminates in a bourbon-barrel finish of dried herbs and charred vanilla.
Producer Description
The mighty buffalo is an iconic symbol of American heritage, a heritage woven with one thousand stories, unique traditions, and a pioneering spirit. Our country’s history of hard work and tenacity lives on today in each of us and continues to be at the essence of America’s character. This is the inspiration for 1,000 Stories, a unique wine aged in bourbon barrels—a reflection of our winemakers’ pioneering spirits. It’s not a quick process, but crafting by hand to meet exacting standards seldom is.
