The Arsonist Red Blend

Product information
Blended and aged 28 months in a combination of French, American and European barrels: “Magrennan” French “EBC” American “Heritage” American “Cooperages 1912” hybrid American and European “Demptos” hybrid American and European
Dense, lush and ripe, this is the ultimate reminder that, sometimes, it’s perfectly fine to play with fire. A deep garnet red, this blend approaches with strong chocolate and toast aromas—barrel oak, caramel, ripe black cherries and cassis. Flavors of brambly blackberry and coffee lead to a long, lingering mocha finish. The Arsonist is a big, chewy wine with firm tannins that take a long ride on the palate.
FoodPairingFinding a dish that will stand up to this wine's weight can be a fun exercise is seasoning and, most of all, cooking fats. Rib roasts, mocha spiced pork belly, and beef shank come to mind.
