Description

With The Big Easy we wanted to pay homage to one of our favorite cities, a culinary mecca and great supporters of our wines, New Orleans.

This well-structured blend has the same characteristics you have come to expect from The Big Easy, rich dark fruit flavors with a touch of oak, and soft tannins that lead to a long lengthy finish.

Wine Critic Reviews
"This Syrah-driven blend starts with smoked meat, dark fruit and pepper dust aromas on the nose. There’s an impressively chalky edge to the palate, which is much more interesting than the nose, offering blackberry paste, smoked beef rib, dried thyme, cracked pepper and a caramel finish." ~ Wine Enthusiast "Supple and user-friendly, with vibrant raspberry, espresso and spiced cinnamon flavors that linger on the polished finish. Syrah, Petite Sirah and Grenache. Drink now through 2029. 7,430 cases made." ~ Wine Spectator "...Rich and unctuous, if offers up succulent black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and spice, punctuated by a dose of sweet American oak. The Big Easy is not exactly subtle, but it will delight readers who enjoy heady, opulent reds." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2019 The Big Easy is made in a forward, delicious, ready-to-go style and brings tons of ripe dark fruits, peppery herbs, and some candied violet notes to go with a medium to full-bodied, pure, balanced style. As with many of the 2019s here, it shows the fresher, more elegant style of the vintage beautifully, and is probably one of the top vintages of this cuvée." ~ Jeb Dunnuck
