A blend of Zinfandel, Petite Syrah and Merlot; The Federalist Bourbon Barrel-Aged Zinfandel marries intense raspberry and black pepper with vanilla, a touch of clove spice and rich caramel.  The rich, ripe flavor of Zinfandel followed by the caramel flavor of bourbon is a wonderful pairing, but beware, the a.p.v. is a substantial 15.5 %.
