This Napa Valley red blend is a fascinating collaboration between Cooper & Thief and Larceny Bourbon that brings together the best of both worlds. By using wheated bourbon barrels instead of the usual rye, the winemakers have created a texture that is remarkably soft and approachable. It is a bold, full-bodied wine that sits in the sweet spot between a traditional red and a light port, offering a comforting warmth in every glass. The connection to the legendary Larceny heritage adds a layer of history to a bottle that is as indulgent as it is smooth.
