Foreign Affair Whisky-Barrelled Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

From the Niagara winery known for making appassimento style wine comes this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was barrel-aged for twelve months in French and American oak and spent another five in Pike Creek Whisky barrels. Furthermore, 29% of the grapes used were dried out over a hundred days. It’s big, bold, and smoky, but you get expected blackberry, black currant, and leather notes. Reminiscent of a Christmas fruit cake baking in grandma’s oven.

Get this wine if you love a classic barrel-aged California cab or are partial to an "Old Fashioned" cocktail. A great wine to keep you warm with heavy protein stew.
