Leopard
Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.
FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

Description
Tasting Notes
The Leopard is an uncommon Napa Valley blend with enticing energy and heart. The lush, velvety femininity of the Cabernet Sauvignon unites with theanimalisticspice and power of Syrah and the graceful acidity of Cabernet Franc. It is rich and dense, while delicate and feminine… It is wild and harmonious! An inspiration from the wild, the Leopard is UNTAMEABLE. Comprised of the three elements… this wine brings together vine, earth and water in an exotic blend. It is mysterious and wild, the EXOTIC and the SAUVAGE, the harmonious balance of earth and freshness.
WinemakingAroma:With a rich aroma of blackberry and warm baking spices on the nose.
Palate:The 2020 JCB Leopard is spicey yet smooth coating the palate with plum and violet followed by a slight herbaceous tarragon note giving structure to the blend. Balanced acidity with a velvety-smooth mouthfeel, this wine is sure to captivate all the senses for years to come.
