Mission Codename The Stuff Of Legends
A rebel WITH a cause. An easy WIA to give, and then some…
Dean Bordigioni, the man, the myth, the legend, returns with an epic blend to commemorate his equally epic journey across America on a hundred-year-old motorcycle. Move out of the way Chuck Norris. Dean is about to dethrone you. Dean’s wine is so good, that he scored the wine critics on a 100 point scale.
No joke, this wine is top notch: Crafted from 100% estate grown fruit, this Sonoma Valley red blend, guided by Deerfield’s acclaimed winemaker Robert Rex is outstanding, and drinking beautifully right now. At under $20, this wine is a steal.
Check out the Team Vino story from the man himself:
Dense and foreboding, this blend is a deep dark blood red at the center, expanding outwards to a ruby lip. You’ll want to inhale deeply, as your nose is filled with a beautiful bouquet of potpourri, ripe red cherry, plum, sandalwood, allspice, and dusty bramble. Take a sip and this powerful blend greets your palate with ample fruit including cherry compote, fresh pipe tobacco, boysenberry and blackberry preserves, and a dark cacao finish. Complex yet completely approachable, this fresh, fruit-forward treat unfolds in layers on the palate as it crescendos for a long finish. Best paired with the open road. (Enjoy the road, THEN the wine.)
Absolutely DO NOT MISS today’s WIA winner. Quality wine, top-notch appellation, master winemaker, killer vintage, absolutely delicious - at an unbeatable price. This is the kind of deal Wine Spies loves to bring our Operatives, again and again.
