Currant Bun Red Blend 2020
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
When our California expert, Clare, tasted this sumptuous California red, she was instantly reminded of the currant bun (a classic British dessert pastry, made with currants and baking spices). It was so delicious, she asked the winemaking team if she could have the lot for our customers—and they graciously agreed to save every last drop for you.
Clare isn’t the only one who thought it was delightful. Judges at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition were smitten too, and gave the inaugural vintage a double-gold medal. And just wait until you taste their acclaimed 2020, sporting a silver medal from the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Currant Bun hails from Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Thanks to the warm 2020 vintage, Lodi’s vineyards thrived, producing grapes with ripe, concentrated flavors.
Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and more, Currant Bun brims with juicy black currant and warm baking spice characters. Rich and succulent, it’s a treat on its own or with roasted meats or firm, aged cheeses.
Go ahead—indulge in a bottle (or two!) of this velvety California exclusive.
