TASTING NOTES:
“Adding the Red Blend to the Buck Shack Bourbon Barrel line up was a no brainer. The bourbon characters soaked out of the barrels melds with the wine and creates a mullet of wine. Business red blend in the front and party bourbon in the back.” (AbV 15.5%, 28% Syrah 27% Petite Sirah 24.5% Zinfandel 8% Cabernet Franc 6.5% Barbera 3.5% Merlot 2.5% Cabernet Sauvignon)

BARRELS:
Blend was racked in freshly emptied bourbon barrels for 3 months.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Uncle Buck was a 1989 film by John Hughes starring John Candy as the eponymous Uncle Buck. Buck, an unemployed schmuck who lives off of rigged horse races, is called in as a last resort by his brother to watch his three kids for a while, and shenanigans ensue. Somehow it ended up with a spin-off TV show, but that got panned by critics and was put up against Full House toward its zenith. It also spawned an Indian remake called Uncle Bun.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
