Apothic Red is a Californian red blend, and blending is the whole idea: rather than presenting a single grape, it is assembled to hit a specific, deliberately crowd-pleasing profile.
That profile is dark, soft and rounded. Black cherry fruit leads, with vanilla and mocha notes behind it and a body that feels smooth rather than structured. The tannin is low and the fruit reads generously, so it does not require food or air to be enjoyable — it is drinkable straight out of the bottle in a way that a tannic Cabernet is not.
It is the red to bring out for people who say they do not like red wine, and it pairs easily with grilled meat, burgers, barbecue sauce, chocolate desserts and cheese boards. The dark, moody label also makes it a reasonable bottle to hand over as a gift when you do not know the recipient's taste.
Serve it at cool room temperature; served warm, the sweeter fruit and vanilla can turn heavy. 247BOOZE delivers Apothic Red across our active service areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
