1000 Stories California Prospectors' Proof Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

1000 Stories Prospectors' Proof Cabernet Sauvignon is a bourbon-barrel-aged Cabernet layered with Zinfandel and Syrah.

Winemaker Bob Blue selected fruit from Mendocino County and the Santa Clara Valley, an old California appellation south of San Francisco Bay. The result shows classic Cabernet typicity — cherry fruit and blackcurrant with a touch of tobacco leaf — with ripe Zinfandel and Syrah layered in for added midpalate, spice, and color. Aged in new and used bourbon barrels, it gains charred vanilla, dried herb, and a hint of caramel before a smooth, memorable finish.

Tasting Notes
