Surrealist Red Blend 2022

Powerful

As POWERFUL as Elizabeth Taylor, these are the boldest reds of the bunch - inky, age-worthy wines that are dense and concentrated in flavor. These strong, heavyweight reds tend to be premium wines from thick-skinned grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.

The Surrealist by JCB is a wine that has never been done before as a blend from the Napa Valley – seductive, lush and opulent, rich yet silky with an eternal finish… A union of power,
femininity, elegance and grace. This transcendent wine is a surrealistic expression of our dreams for the ultimate Napa Valley red wine.

The Surrealist by JCB is a bold yet refined Napa Valley blend with a deep violet hue. The Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in a single St. Helena vineyard on gravelly loam soils, delivers ripe, concentrated fruit and supple tannins, while the Petit Verdot from two Rutherford sites on clay loam enhances richness, structure, and refined tension on the palate. Sumptuous and layered, silky yet commanding, enhanced by notes of espresso and spiced cedar lead to a long, lingering finish of exceptional finesse.

Aged 18-19 months in French oak barrels - 65% new French (Taransaud) and the balance is once used French oak. Sourced from three exceptional vineyards, this premier blend showcases the depth and balance of its origins - 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Petit Verdot. Fermentation (all extended maceration) and on skins for 31 days. Vegan, bottled (on a fruit day) unfined and unfiltered.
