Each vintage year, Red Oak uses brand new barrels crafted from oak trees
in France. The barrels are slowly toasted over natural wood fires. This
process lowers tannin content and caramelizes sugars, developing
aromatics and spicy flavors. Each year, we work with at least 8 different
toasting levels to ensure creamy, vanillin, buttery toast flavors and
well-rounded structures for our wines. Our reserve barrels are a blend
of oak from three French forests: the center of France, Allier, and Nevers.
