It has aromas of American cherry, cocoa and herbes de Provence, and the flavor opens with cherry, moving to plum and blackberry.
The firm acidity and supple tannins envelop the tongue, lingering on for a long finish.
It pairs well with hearty dishes like burgers and bean stews, as well as pasta with tomato or pesto sauces.
Released in 2004, the brand was created by former Hahn Winery winemaker Adam Lazar.
With its rich fruitiness and typical Californian style, the innovative label design of a woman flying on a bicycle also became a hot topic, making the brand beloved in the United States and around the world.
Adam returns to Cycles Gladiator, Wine Hooligans' flagship brand, which went on to stand on its own in 2014, and 10 years after its release, even more is expected.
Adam Lazare is one of California's most highly regarded winemakers and a multiple award-winning winemaker at the prestigious Los Angeles International Wine Competition.
The label is an surviving poster from the Belle Époque era, depicting the bicycle, an invention of the time, and the woman who gained freedom through it as the "Gladiator."
This is a work of art that captures the unrestrained beauty of California's natural beauty.
