Jim Olsen BX California 2014
About the wine
Balanced, complex and expensive-tasting wine for under $10
- Jim's made a smooth, easy drinking red with perfectly ripe dark fruit and an interesting edge of depth and complexity. And he's done it for a steal.
- His beguiling blend takes a traditional Bordeaux approach (which is why he calls it BX) of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec – and then he breaks all the rules by adding a healthy splash of Syrah. In Bordeaux, they'd be shocked senseless to see this blend, but Angels give Jim the freedom to break the rules and make the best wine possible.
- Jim says he made this balanced, complex wine for flavorful meats like lamb kebabs on the grill and my mouth is watering just thinking of that combo.
