The 2017 Gold Rush Red melds Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Pinot Noir to create a powerful, intensely focused red blend. Lush, soft fruitiness from the Merlot and Pinot Noir precede Zinfandel's rich, concentrated notes of blackberry compote and black pepper spice. Petite Sirah lends an inky purple hue and pleasing minerality, while Cabernet Sauvignon structures the blend with generous tannins and memorable length of flavor. Our unique bourbon barrel-aging technique infuses the wine with warm aromas of charred vanilla and caramelized sugar.
