About This Wine


The Spice & Jam Trading Co.

Bold Red Wine

The 2016 Spice & Jam Trading Co. Bold Red recently took home a Double Gold medal from the 2018 North of the Gate Wine Competition and a Gold from the 2018 New York International Wine Competition! The Petit Verdot-Zinfandel blend is a celebration of fruit and oak. An explosion of flavor sets this wine apart as a must try. The two grapes that make this wine bring fabulous complementary notes. The Zinfandel is the backbone of the wine with strong fruit flavors and a nice acidity, and the Petit Verdot brings a vibrant color and secondary notes of caramel and toffee. The wine emerges from a few months in oak mellowed with beautiful notes of toffee and caramel.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

Tasting Notes


  • A figure representing the Tobacco tasting note. Tobacco
  • A figure representing the Blackcurrant tasting note. Blackcurrant
  • A figure representing the Baking Spice tasting note. Baking Spice

This wine has great aromas of ripe, red and blackcurrants with fresh strawberries. There are secondary characteristics of tobacco leaf and spice. The wine is juicy and full of great fruit flavors. The spice present in the wine means that it will pair well with a moderate amount of spice.
