The Federalist Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend 2017

Consider it an amendment to monotonous winemaking - This uniquely American approach saturates the blend for 6 months in charred Bourbon barrels for a black fruit and caramel spiciness with a finish as smoky as it is smooth. Sip to ratify.

The roots of Zinfandel began to take hold in the United States just as the Federalists were establishing our nation’s independence. This Dry Creek Valley estate-grown Federalist Zinfandel is an ode to this noble grape, and a celebration of its decidedly American origin. The robust fruit, bright berry fruit character and lively acidity speak to the distinct characteristics of these bold, strong vines that are inseparably intertwined with the history of the United States itself.
