2019 Society of Smugglers Maverick

Smuggler. Maverick. Crazy-ass son-of-a-bitch…. They’re all names John Fucking Caldwell will answer to, and they’re all names he has rightfully earned through the risks he’s taken and the boundaries he’s pushed to bring Caldwell Vineyard to the height of California winemaking. Each year we craft this wine as homage. Made for drinking, this five-varietal black-and-blue-fruited blend is as complex as the man himself. Larger than life, hedonistic and juicy, it’s also got a buttoned-up business side showcased by superfine tannins that carry the myriad of flavors through a multi-minute finish. It pairs as well with sophisticated wine dinners as it does with covert backroom deals.
