2015 Ruby-Eyed Red
CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE TO OUR WINE CLUB MEMBERS
Each wine had aged nearly 3 years in American Oak before we blend them and age the new mix for three months in freshly used whiskey barrels from the renowned Garrison Brothers distillery. As Texas’ oldest (legal) distillery Garrison Brothers produces a remarkable straight bourbon from oak barrels that we secure as soon as the whiskey is dumped. Once seated in the "wet" barrels we waited for the magic to happen. Oh and happen it did! The aromas of vanilla, caramel and oak serve only to enhance the existing berry and spice tones of this tremendous blend.
