Chronic Cellars Sofa King Bueno red blend 2020, 0,75 L

This wine, composed of 57% Syrah, 24% Petite Sirah, 12% Grenache, and 7% Mourvèdre, offers a precise breakdown of its cuvée—an impressive and rare detail. These grape varieties, typical of the south of France, have found a new home in the USA, producing immensely drinkable, fleshy, yet intense wines.

Chronic Cellars consistently amazes with their wines, defying expectations set by their casual branding to deliver high-quality, serious offerings.

On the nose, this wine immediately presents notes of blackberry, sour cherry, and strawberry, complemented by hints of leather, cocoa, and caramel. The palate is a delight, with juicy and elegant flavours that mask the high alcohol content. Velvety red berry flavours, firm tannins, and fresh acidity create a balanced yet powerful experience. The finish is notably long, with lingering notes of liquorice and roasted aromas.

This wine will undoubtedly improve with bottle ageing and benefits from ample air exposure in the glass, which allows it to fully open up and become even more enjoyable.

If you enjoy this wine, make a note of Paso Robles—there are some truly exceptional wines coming from this region.
