Winemaking Notes
When we set out to make Layer Cake Bourbon Barrel Cabernet, our goal was to take advantage of the great flavor in both the spirit and the charred oak barrels to add further depth and complexity of flavor to our award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon.
We started the way we do with our traditional Cabernet Sauvignon, by finding great vineyards that allow us to make a rich, make a rich, delicious Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes like $50, but costs less than $20. We traveled across the best regions of California, eventually settling on two main vineyards; one in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley and one in sunny Paso Robles. The diversity of these two vineyards allows us to make a final blend that expresses the concentration, complexity and richness Layer Cake fans have come to
expect.
After traditional Aging in French Oak we allowed the Cabernet Sauvignon to age in old charred oak barrels from some America’s finest bourbon distilleries to impart additional layers of flavor and a bolder and more intense character to our Cabernet Sauvignon.
