About the wine
Bold Reserve red graced with a special-edition label that Angel votes made possible
- This powerful red is a bold and intense bounty of brambly fruit and spice, with rich complexity, mesmerizing depth and a smooth, lip-smacking finish.
- With your support, David brought together a daring trio of "inky" grapes – punchy Tannat, fruity Teroldego and brooding Petite Sirah – to make this truly original red blend that’s quickly become an Angel-favorite.
- David teamed up with world-renowned tattoo artist Zhou Dan Ting (aka Ms. Ting, aka “China’s First Lady of Tattoo”) to create a special-edition label – and Angel votes helped decide the final beautiful design!
Best before
If its power and texture are indicators for longevity, this wine will outlive me.
Serving advice
Pour a glass and experience the wine as it airs out and every flavor comes to the surface.
Food match
The wine is almost a meal in itself. Some pungent, aged cheese and a baguette would be sporty. A grilled Angus beef burger topped with some black truffles would stand up to Ink. A marinated pork belly gua bao Momofuko-style would do nicely too.
