Imperial stout with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah, and Carignane grapes aged in French oak puncheons
This still-packaged delicacy pays homage to wine makers and brewers alike, crafted with a medley of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignane, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah grapes harvested from the BV1 Experimental vineyard block. The unique terroir of the Rutherford AVA nestled in Napa Valley is reflected in the bold yet velvety smooth character, developed over two and a half years of aging in new French oak puncheons, producing a fine imperial stout, like nothing you’ve tasted before.
