✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from fruit harvested in Northern California's warm interior terroirs, this full-throttle red undergoes traditional fermentation followed by finishing in charred American oak bourbon whiskey barrels. The maturation regimen imparts pronounced nuances of toasted caramel, charred staves, and warm vanilla over dense dark fruit extract.
🍾 About the Producer
Rooted in the viticultural legacy of Delicato Family Wines, the 1924 label pays historical homage to the year Sicilian immigrant Gaspare Indelicato planted his inaugural vineyard in Manteca during the height of American Prohibition. Drawing fruit predominantly from the sun-drenched, Mediterranean microclimates of Lodi and Northern California, the vineyards thrive on well-drained alluvial, sandy loam, and cobblestone-strewn granitic soils. The brand specializes in high-extract, spirit-barrel-aged wines crafted under certified sustainable farming practices. Vinification focuses on intense concentration, high ripeness, and structured extraction, followed by maturation in charred spirit casks. The flagship expression, Double Black Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside its Whiskey Barrel-Aged Red Blend, defines the house aesthetic: an unrepentantly opulent profile laden with ripe blackberry, vanilla, charred oak, and warm baking spices that bridges historic bootlegger spirit with modern consumer tastes.
