$114.00 $96.90
Cooper & Thief Red Blend is a dark and jammy red wine blend loaded with bourbon-inspired flavors and aromas. Crafted by Cellarmaster, Jeff Kasavan, our wine is aged for three months in bourbon barrels, which gives way to soft, velvety tannins with a subtle heat. The combined result is a rich flavor, with a long, lingering finish.
While other wines celebrate doing the same thing for centuries, Cooper & Thief celebrates doing things differently. Our bourbon barrel-aged red wine blend challenges tradition, which makes for a much more interesting story.
The Cooper & Thief vintage came in early with exceptional quality fruit throughout the state. Welcome winter rains helped alleviate the drought. The entire ripening season enjoyed cooler-than-average daytime highs and cold nights—perfect for inky, complex wines.
Wineries using whiskey barrels are bringing a new wrinkle to the marketplace. The Cooper & Thief Cellarmasters Red Wine Blend, with 3 months in Bourbon Whiskey barrels, is nicely done. While far from traditional table wines, this wine exhibits a pleasing mix of elements.
This Cooper & Thief wine is full-bodied, firm, and lasting. Its aromas and flavors of black fruit and smoke should pair it well with grilled beef.
A daring red blend aged for 3 months in bourbon barrels produces a complex and smooth, well-rounded wine. Dark and jammy with bourbon-inspired flavors that give way to soft tannins and a long, lingering finish.
