Apothic Crush

Apothic Crush is a remarkably luscious, velvety, and fruit-forward red blend designed to offer an indulgent and highly approachable California wine experience. Crafted from a smooth, calculated blend of dark-skinned varieties, this non-vintage selection pours a deep ruby-purple color and opens with a highly expressive, jammy bouquet of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and red raspberry. The primary fruit aromas are beautifully framed by decadent, oak-derived undercurrents of sweet milk chocolate, mocha, and warm caramel. On the palate, it delivers a medium- to full-bodied framework characterized by supple, ultra-soft tannins and a plush, rounded mouthfeel. Its concentrated core of berry compote and subtle baking spice is carried by a gentle hint of residual sweetness, allowing the rich notes of vanilla and toasted oak to linger gracefully on a clean, silky finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with slow-cooked barbecue pork ribs, wood-fired pepper salami pizza, teriyaki-glazed salmon, sharp aged Gouda cheese, or decadent dark chocolate brownies.
