Red wine | California, USA
The 19 Crimes Severed Red is a daring, limited-edition collaboration between the rebellious 19 Crimes winery and the cult-favorite beverage brand, Liquid Death. This 'California Red Blend' is crafted for those who prefer their wine with a side of edge. Paying homage to the legendary convicts who built Australia, this bottle introduces a fictional '20th Crime'—the 'murdering of thirsts'—committed by Liquid Death’s iconic mascot, Murder Man, who is prominently featured on the label. Beyond its striking aesthetic, the wine itself is an approachable, 'ominously dark' red blend. On the nose, you are greeted by sophisticated, non-traditional notes of toasted hazelnut, coconut, and violet. On the palate, it delivers a smooth and flavorful experience, characterized by deep, ripe fruit flavors like plum and blackberry, finishing with a gentle hint of spice. As a playful wink to the collaboration, every bottle contains a single, symbolic drop of Liquid Death Mountain Water. This wine is perfectly suited for casual gatherings, holiday parties, or as a conversation-starting gift. It pairs beautifully with hearty, savory dishes such as grilled lamb chops, spare ribs, or classic minced steak. It is also an excellent companion to medium-ripened cheeses or a rustic pasta dish with a spicy tomato sauce. Whether you are a fan of the 19 Crimes lineup or simply appreciate a bottle that disrupts conventional wine-aisle aesthetics, Severed Red offers a bold, fun, and flavorful experience that refuses to take itself too seriously.
