CALIFORNIA THE STORY A leader in crafting wine aged in bourbon barrels, 1000 Stories melds California’s winemaking heritage with America’s storied bourbon culture. Expertly crafted by Master Winemaker Bob Blue from renowned California vineyards, 1000 Stories gets its acclaimed nuance and complexity from time spent in charred bourbon barrels—revealing a uniquely American story in every glass. THE JOURNEY Our inaugural Chardonnay melds the rich character of 1000 Stories’ bourbon barrel-aged wines with California’s most celebrated white grape variety. The 2018 vintage hails from coveted regions throughout the state, including the cool-climate vines of Monterey County. A portion of the wine was fermented in oak barrels, lending a creamy texture to the wine. Quintessential Chardonnay notes of pear and baked apple are layered over a thread of tropical fruit, courtesy of a touch of Viognier in the blend. In signature 1000 Stories fashion, this Chardonnay was aged in traditional French and American oak, with a portion finished in seasoned bourbon barrels before the final blend was assembled. THE WINE Our 2018 Chardonnay reflects the classic California style: fuller bodied, richly textured and brimming with lush fruit flavors. Fresh notes of pear, pineapple and peach dominate the palate, framed by a baked-apple richness and a creamy mouthfeel. Bourbon barrel aging weaves a warm thread of dried herbs and cedar in the glass, culminating in a vanilla-caramel finish. 1000storieswines.com BOB BLUE, WINEMAKER TOTAL ACIDITY: 5.4 g/L pH: 3.41 RESIDUAL SUGAR: 6.9g/L ALCOHOL: 14.05% 1000STORIESWINES ©2019 1000 STORIES VINEYARDS, HOPLAND, MENDOCINO Co., CA
