Bourbon Barrels

Blaze will be back this summer!

Last week our cellar team emptied the Bourbon Barrels used to store the wine that makes up Blaze. This season we used 3 different bourbon barrels, Willet, Old Elk, and Wild Turkey to get the perfect balance of oak and spice. In total, we blended 7 different barrels, each filled with Marquette and/or Frontenac. The Grape varieties that make up Blaze allow our wine-maker to create a dry, jammy red wine that takes on both the varietal characteristics and the barrel flavors.  If you are a red wine drinker or are wanting to expand your palate, give Blaze a taste. Aged in bourbon barrels for 7 months, this wine will provide subtle notes of dark cherries with a warm spice finish. While all good wine can stand alone, Blaze will also pair nicely with grilled beef or game meat, or with a rich cheese.

Loved this winery! Very large indoor and outdoor spaces. Great selection of dry reds and also sweeter wines. My favorite was the Blaze, dry red. Jennifer was fantastic and gave us out of towners great recommendations for local spots to hit for dinner and site seeing! Live music some evenings, great charcuterie boards. Highly recommend!
