"The Boss" Red Blend
By Badgerhound
"The Boss" Red Blend wine is tenacious and sweet with a blackberry character. It is supported by vanilla bean and earthy notes. This is a spicy red blend, with notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice and cocoa powder to lead your palate down the path to happiness. This fruit monster then brings black currant, black raspberry, blueberry jam and elderberry to the party. This hound may be big, but it’s graceful. Rich in color, nuance, and distinction, every sip of "The Boss" red blend is truly a one-of-a-kind!
The distinctive Badgerhound Red Blend label pays homage to both the Italian roots of the Zinfandel grape as well as our love of mobster movies, having been inspired by a scene in The Godfather in which Michael Corleone is laying low in Italy.
A 2018 made wine, "The Boss" Red Blend is made in Sonoma County, California and pairs well with Barbecue dishes such as St. Louis-style ribs, Memphis pulled pork, and Texas-style brisket. The wine has aged 18 months in French Oak; 30% New Oak.
