The D-O-Double-G Joins the 19 Crimes
19 Crimes built its name on Australian wines honouring the convicts transported for one of nineteen crimes — then, in the summer of 2020, it crossed the Pacific. Cali Red was the brand's first California bottling and the start of its multi-year partnership with Snoop Dogg, who tasted through the options and picked this Petite Sirah-led blend himself. Lodi's old-vine Zinfandel country gives it ripe, dense fruit; the Petite Sirah brings the dark purple depth. Browse it among our red wines and the wider wine shelves, or see the label on the 19 Crimes vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep, dark purple. Nose: Ripe black fruit with smoky American oak, vanilla and hazelnut. Palate: Full and dense — black and blue fruit from the Petite Sirah, brighter candied red fruit from the Zinfandel behind it, dark toasted oak through the middle. Finish: Smooth with a touch of sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Serve at cool room temperature with barbecue, burgers or smoked ribs — the Lodi fruit and toasted oak were made for smoke. Give it a short decant if pouring young and tight.
