Description

The 19 Crimes Snoop Cali Red is a bold and unconventional collaboration that brings together the rebellious spirit of 19 Crimes—a brand inspired by the historical figures exiled to Australia—and the iconic persona of hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg. As the brand's first California-grown wine, it is crafted primarily from Petite Sirah (65%), Zinfandel (30%), and a touch of Merlot (5%) sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Lodi. This wine is intentionally designed to be approachable, flavorful, and 'bold,' mirroring the personality of the D-O-double-G himself. In the glass, it presents an opaque, deep violet hue that immediately signals its intensity. On the nose, you are greeted by an inviting bouquet of ripe black fruits, including blackberry and plum, seamlessly layered with sweet, comforting aromas of American oak, vanilla, and a hint of smoke. Upon the first sip, it delivers a lush and jammy profile. The Petite Sirah provides a dense, full-bodied structure, while the Zinfandel adds a vibrant layer of candied red fruit and a subtle, spicy complexity. Its texture is notably soft and round, with a profile that leans towards a semi-dry finish. This makes it an incredibly versatile and crowd-pleasing option for casual gatherings. Whether you are hosting a backyard BBQ, grilling up juicy burgers with caramelized onions, or simply enjoying a hearty plate of pasta, this wine is designed to complement bold flavors. It is also a fantastic choice for those who enjoy a hint of sweetness in their red wines, as it lacks the harsh astringency found in more traditional, austere blends. More than just a celebrity partnership, the 19 Crimes Snoop Cali Red is a cultural statement—it’s an easy-drinking, unapologetic wine that encourages you to enjoy life, break a few rules, and savor the moment with good company. If you appreciate wines that prioritize smoothness, fruit-forward intensity, and a fun, modern vibe, this Cali Red is a perfect addition to your collection.
