Cooper & Thief Cellarmasters
Tequila Barrel Aged Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley, California, USA
Grabbed another taste again, still do not like the wine. Unusual SB, if you like heat on your otherwise crisp wine, maybe this is for you, ABV 16.5%! Aromas of citrus fruit with spice notes. On the palate not much fruit comes through, too much else going on, toasty oak, sweet spice with a jolt of acidity. Medium finish ending with hot alcohol burn. Pricey, personally I like my SB’s with more of a fruit character as I’m not looking for a shot of Tequila with my wine! Tasting Sample!

If you thought mixing sauv blanc and tequila was a bad idea... you are a rational human being, and completely correct. Everclear poured over cooked grapes and tainted by oak smoke. For novelty purposes only.

1 person found it helpfulJun 26th, 2018I’m a huge fan of the Cooper & Thief red and saw this one at my local HEB. Initially, I was intrigued by the respectable ABV, ringing in at 16.5%! Unfortunately, I will likely not buy this one again, because frankly, it tasted like a case of rot gut.

Very good. Can drink by itself. Wonderful aroma. Not tart. White version of the Red Blend. Definitely buy more.

These guys make some super funky interesting stuff. This was aged in Casa Noble tequila barrels. Has a faint tequila flavor with toasted vanilla and citrus. Really good.
