The California Gold Rush was a period of courage, bravado and curiosity. I craft Red Blend with these characteristics in mind. The grapes used to blend this bold wine are carefully selected from the golden hills and valleys of California. It is finished in Bourbon barrels, which complements this rich wine with notes of charred vanilla and dried herbs.
