Product information

The California Gold Rush was a period of courage, bravado and curiosity. I craft Gold Rush Red with these characteristics in mind. The grapes used to blend this bold wine are carefully selected from the golden hills and valleys of California. It is finished in Bourbon barrels, which complements this rich wine with notes of charred vanilla and dried herbs.

Tasting Notes
Our Gold Rush Red is a fruit-forward blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir. Each varietal in this powerful, lush red wine plays a part in the flavour profile: Merlot lends ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit, Zinfandel brings the spice, the wine's inky purple hue and pleasing minerality are compliments of Pinot Noir. The creation of this well-structured blend culminates in bourbon-barrel aging, giving the wine a finish of charred vanilla and dried herbs
History

The California Gold Rush signaled a new era thrumming with bravery, bravado and curiosity-characteristics that inspire the rich, bold flavour of our Gold Rush Red.

Extremely quaffable

Received this to review...what a pleasant surprise it was too. Everyone at the dinner table said they would drink it again. So guess I'll have to order more bottles. It's smooth on the palate and has complex flavours . Married very well with a rich dinner . Try it
