About the wine
An old-world blend with Napa richness
- Rich, chocolatey wine with intense berry fruit and an intoxicating aroma. You really feel the blend come through - it's a mix of Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec!
- Jac's brought the style of Bordeaux to the USA in this dangerously powerful, full-bodied red. He blended from both hillside and Valley floor vineyards to capture the real essence of Napa.
- My mouth starts watering at the thought of a huge glass of this dark, brooding wine paired with some grilled shortribs - drenched in enough sauce so they melt-off-the-bone...
Best before
Hard to do, but I would recommend laying it down for at least a year to allow the softening of tannins and secondary flavor components to develop.
Serving advice
Yes, decanting is must; at least an hour before serving and two hours would be better
Food match
Something hearty like braised lamb shanks or short ribs
Contains sulphites
Always check the label
