Apothic Inferno Red 2015, California, United States: This small batch Californian red wine blend was aged in whiskey barrels for 60 days. This lends this wine aromas and flavours of smoke, toast, spice, brown sugar and toffee. Full-bodied. The wine is aged in bourbon barrels rather than the oak usually used to age wine from France, Hungary or the US (but not bourbon oak). The bourbon oak staves (panels or strips of wood) impart a maple spice finish. This clocks in at a hefty 16% alcohol. Pair with hamburgers with relish.
