✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Lodi's warm sandy loam soils, this wine undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel before finishing for several months in charred American ex-bourbon whiskey barrels. This aging regimen imparts distinctive nuances of toasted caramel, vanilla bean, and charred stave smoke layered over 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.
