History: Years ago, when I was just starting out as a winemaker, it was almost unheard of to get French oak wine barrels and American oak barrels, were for whisky, not wine. But we still needed barrels to age our wine, so we purchased new and used Bourbon barrels. Today American and French oak wine barrels are commonplace, so the inspiration for 1000 Stories is a nod to the way things were.' - Winemaker Bob Blue
Regional information: Individual lots for this intriguing wine started with the dry-farmed, head-trained Zinfandel vines from Mendocino County, Lodi and Paso Robles Vineyards.
Vinification: Individual lots for this intriguing wine began the ageing process in traditional American and French oak barrels before being introduced to new Bourbon barrels. The characteristic char from these sought-after vessels imparted attractive smoky notes to the nose and palate, where the lasting impression is a richly flavoured vanilla, dried herbs and a hint of caramel.
