2021 Cooper & Thief Red Blend – Testing Notes
So, I tried this Cooper & Thief Red Blend last night, the 2021 one. You know, the one aged in bourbon barrels? Crazy, right?
First thing that hit me was the color – deep, dark red, like a fancy jewel. Looked bold, and it totally was! When I swirled it, this amazing smell came out – vanilla and dark fruits, kind of like a blackberry pie with a little spice kick.
The first sip? Boom! Tons of juicy blackberry flavor, like jam almost, balanced out by this smooth wave of vanilla and baking spices. There was a hint of bourbon too, but not too strong, just a nice warm feeling at the end. And the tannins? Super smooth, like velvet. Made it really easy to drink.
It’s a full-bodied wine, for sure, but not heavy. Think fancy, rich, coating your mouth with all those yummy flavors. I had it with a grilled ribeye, and let me tell you, perfect match! The fruit flavor held its own against the meat, and the bourbon kind of echoed the smoky taste from the grill.
Overall, I dug this Cooper & Thief Red Blend a lot. It’s a fun twist on a regular red wine , great for people who like bolder flavors. The bourbon barrel aging adds something interesting, but it’s not overpowering. If you need a crowd-pleaser for a BBQ or something casual, this is a good choice. Just be warned, one glass might not be enough!
- Easy-drinking with bold fruit flavors
- Unique bourbon barrel influence adds complexity
- Grape varietals not disclosed
- May be too bold for some preferences
- Personal Preference 4.6 / 5
