Josh Cellars Zinfandel Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged 750ML
Our bourbon barrel aged zinfandel is the newest addition to our line of barrel aged wines. We age our california zinfandel in charred bourbon barrels for two months to impart a bolder, richer flavor. This zinfandel is vibrant and spicy with flavors of cracked black pepper and licorice complemented by notes of vanilla and blackberry. The palate is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish. Enjoy this wine with grilled sausages, bbq chicken, or smoked eggplant.

Brand Description
Josh Cellars is a negociant brand, so we don’t own a winery or any vineyards, much like some of the world’s greatest chateaux in Bordeaux & Burgundy. We do, however, work with California’s best growers to build a superior wine blend. Our winemaker spent over a decade making sparkling wine at one of the world’s largest and most prestigious champagne houses, where blending distinct lots is essential to making great wine. Those experiences make him uniquely qualified to source and assemble wine blends of great character and complexity, in the signature Josh Cellars style: fruit-forward and rich, with approachable tannins and a long finish.
 
Brand History
In 2005 I was in the wine cellar with a friend, tinkering around with some new wine that we sourced from some rugged, volcanic vineyards in the Red Hills of Lake County, California. We were reminiscing about our fathers, and it reminded me of how my Dad used to tinker around the garage, rebuilding old stock cars with his friends. That rich, approachable wine that we tried back then defines the style and quality that we try to replicate in each vintage. Wines that are bold and expressive, but unassuming and approachable. Funny how it reminds me of someone. My Dad’s name was Joseph, as is mine, but his friends Just called him Josh. – Joseph Carr, Founder & Son
