If a wine could be one of those $5,000 Vegas burgers with all the Wagyu beef, foie gras, black truffles and all that, it would be this bottle of Scallywag. Stuff your napkin in your collar and get to work.
The color of Scallywag is a triumphant deep crimson. It’s big, meaty and Rhone-like on the nose. Almost arrogant… On the palate the toasty black cherry core of the wine yields dark chocolate, vanillin oak, warm coffee bean and ripe blueberry. With a long, dense finish, Scallywag is smoother than Bing Crosby eating a veal cutlet.
This one’s a doozy.
