2021 Herman Story Wines Made | Paso robles, California 750ml

If rapper and host of Pimp My Ride Xzibit got ahold of Tony Montana's Cadillac Series 62, this would be the result. We're talking pearlescent tart-cherry paint job, sweet cream leather seats, crushed-slate hydraulics, a trunk loaded with sage and dried-rose grenades plus a peppered-fig subwoofer that could blow the doors off. And when Tony rides it down dimly lit Miami streets, he's got enough flashy confidence to take on the world, the world chico, and everything in it. 31% Sangiovese 20% Syrah 18% Barbera 17% Teroldego 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. 509 cases produced. | Herman Story Wines

Red, blue, and black fruits, cedary spice, black pepper, and bay leaf notes all shine in From's 2021 Made, another ripe, full-bodied, textured, and elegant red... it has fine, polished tannins, a ripe yet weightless mouthfeel, and a great finish. Drink this complex, sexy, incredibly compelling red over the coming decade. | 95 Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
