INFUSION
Our Best Selling Private Reserve Limited Release returns! Cab Syrah (Shiraz) blends are common, but the addition of Zinfandel is a California creation. These popular varietals thrive in Lodi, which tends to grow softer, more fruit-forward reds. Cab brings its signature blackcurrant flavours, ample acid and tannin. Zinfandel adds jammy berries, with Syrah contributing plum and pepper. Together they make a bold wine with abundant berry flavours and rich tannin, making it an ideal base for something a little extra…
Juice for this limited release was pre-oaked in house, steeping for several months with Wayne Gretzky whisky oak chips. During this 6-month steep, the juice absorbs flavours and tannin from the whisky oak, adding roundness, nuanced sweet spice, brown sugar and vanilla character.
These whisky-influenced notes round out a bold wine rich with flavours of blackcurrant, jammy wildberry and plum, underlaid with mocha, spice, and smoky toasted notes.
This wine will of course match well with red meat dishes and flavourful stews. Pair with with aged cheeses, chicken mole, or bison burgers topped with roasted red pepper and caramelized onions. A great option for beef brisket, spicy sausage, or black bean chili.
