From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Rib Tickler Shiraz from Boutinot, located in the fertile Lodi and Manteca valleys of California, is a true treat for lovers of rich, flavorful wines. The region, known for its favorable climate thanks to the cool air currents of the San Joaquin and Sacramento River deltas, offers ideal conditions for the Shiraz grapes to ripen optimally. These 30-year-old vines benefit from the cooling influences of the nearby San Francisco Bay, resulting in grapes with deep, complex flavors. The wine, aged for four months in oak barrels, develops a rich palette of aromas and flavors, giving The Rib Tickler Shiraz its distinctive character.

From the moment the bottle is opened, an aromatic experience begins that is both rich and inviting. The nose is greeted with vibrant notes of raspberry and blackberry, enriched with a subtle hint of toasted caramel from the oak barrel aging. On the palate, The Rib Tickler Shiraz unfolds with an abundance of ripe, juicy fruit such as cassis and cherry, interwoven with gingerbread spices and a soft hint of vanilla. These flavors are perfectly balanced with the refined pepperiness that characterizes Shiraz, resulting in a finish that is both smooth and subtle, yet leaves a lasting impression.

A versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes, The Rib Tickler Shiraz is exceptionally well-suited to complement both the robust flavors of roast beef and grilled meats and the more refined notes of poultry and light game. It's also an excellent choice for vegetarian options like mushroom risotto or oven-roasted vegetables, where the wine's rich, fruity notes harmonize beautifully with the dishes' earthy flavors. Inspired by the essence of Bourbon and barbecue, this Shiraz is the ultimate companion for slow-cooked meals and cozy evenings. It's the perfect wine to have on hand for any occasion, from a casual dinner to a special celebration.
