COMMENTARY: The 1924 Limited Edition Double Black Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 vintage is generous and satisfying on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, oak, and licorice. Serve it with a grilled, well-marbled, thick ribeye. (Tasted: July 17, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

'Back in 1924, the heart of Prohibition and wine's darkest hour, our founders planted their first vineyard. Rumor has it some of those grapes might have been used to make wine. During an era when code names for a jug of whiskey or wine were spoken through slots in speakeasy doors, Americans would not be denied their favorite beverages. That same rebellious 1920s spirit lives on in our daring wines - and in those who drink them. So, as you pour your next glass and make mischief of your own, 1924 will be there every sip of the way.
Lodi is justifiably lauded for its old vine Zinfandels, but it is a production powerhouse when it comes to Cabernet Sauvignon. Lodi and its surrounding area (San Joaquin County) rank third in the state in acres planted to Cab, behind Napa and Paso Robles/San Luis Obispo County. But in total tons crushed Lodi is number one by a wide margin, surpassing Napa and Paso combined. In other words, Lodi produces more Cabernet Sauvignon than anywhere else in the U.S. This more volume-driven approach to viticulture makes possible the value-oriented bottlings that so many wine drinkers reach for on an everyday basis. These offer the varietal’s classic profile of dark fruit, oak influence, subtle herbal and green pepper notes and solid structure. Try Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon from wineries like Cosentino, Ironstone, Lapis Luna and The Federalist.
