Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Each year winemaker Adam LaZarre carefully selects the grapes for this wine from quality vineyards in California’s Central Coast region. The area is blessed with numerous appellations which produce top Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing Adam to customise his own blend and choose grapes which can give a focused expression of both the variety and the terroir while still offering amazing value for money. Adam also mixes in a little Merlot and Syrah in the blend to bring a touch of spice and softness on the palate.
The racy label that graces this bottle actually led to the wine being banned in the US state of Alabama, catapulting the winery into the limelight both at home and abroad. The wine does however live up to its seductive label with its seductively rich and comforting nose and palate.
Nose: Rich blackberry, juicy blackcurrant, cedar and all spice.
Palate: Dark fruits: plum and black cherry. Dusty and melting tannins immediately coat the tongue and provide a platform for the fruit towards the back of the mouth. The acid component is subtle but substantial enough to carry the fruit long into the finish.
Food Pairings: Roast beef or flame grilled steaks, and tomato based pastas and pizzas.
