J.Wilkes Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Paso Robles Highlands Cabernet finished in bourbon barrels — bold, smoky, and unlike anything else in our selection.

J.Wilkes is a Miller Family Wines label defined by the ocean-influenced highlands of Paso Robles, where cool nights and warm days produce Cabernet of exceptional depth. The bourbon barrel finishing adds a distinctive layer of toasty complexity that sets this wine apart from any conventional Cab.

Tasting Notes
Dark plum, licorice, and vanilla on the nose, with notes of spice and black pepper floating above. On the palate, juicy blackberry, dark cherry, and black currant are framed by chalky tannins and a smoky, toasty finish that lingers with real character.

The Finish
Rich and persistent, with a smoky undertone and warm bourbon-kissed close that makes this one of the most distinctive reds in our portfolio.
