About the wine
Bright, easy-sipping red blend from an award-winning Angel-turned-winemaker
- Bright berry flavors lead the way in this easy-drinking, lively red – a specialty blend brought to you by Tom Shula, a former Angel who now crafts award-winning wines exclusively for Naked.
- Your funding helped Tom craft this unique blend starting with a bold backbone of Malbec that he balanced with a bit of rich Cabernet and juicy Petit Verdot for a rich, vibrant set of flavors.
- This blend is a limited one-off release, so scoop up a bottle (or two) while it lasts and savor it with everything from a char-grilled steak to a big, juicy cheeseburger.
Best before
I expect this wine will develop well in the bottle for 3-5 years, but its quite enjoyable now. If you plan on aging it, I always suggest trying a bottle every 6-12 months to see how the wine's flavors are developing.
Serving advice
My sense is that this wine will open up fairly quickly after uncorking. Swirl it in a glass or use an aerator to speed it up. As with most other reds, I suggest serving it at around 60-65ºF.
Food match
This red would go great alongside seared duck breast with crispy skin or a grilled NY steak with Lyonnaise potatoes and sautéed broccolini. I think it would also be good with a big, juicy cheeseburger and fries or onion rings!
