Angels & Cowboys Proprietary Red 2018

Our job at WineOnline.ca is to find unique wines that deviate from the pack for our members—like richly layered Angels & Cowboys Proprietary Red 2018 from high atop the ridges of the Sonoma Coast, made by artisan winemaker—Yoav Gilat.

If wines were rated based solely on the enjoyment they provided and sheer “Grill Factor”, Angels & Cowboys’ Sonoma County Proprietary Red gets a perfect score from our tasting crew. It’s a multi-vineyard expression of the diverse terroirs of Sonoma County, California and a wine that instantly transported all of us to an ocean side grill house for a plate of “crumble in your mouth” burgers or anything else off the grill.

It’s not aiming to be a trophy bottling but instead an authentic California “country” red that elevates the everyday wine experience. In my opinion, they accomplished both, whether intended or not—this is a delicious and memorable California red! I’ll be rustling up some thick cut chops this weekend and assure you that the first bottle will be gone before dinner hits our table. Enjoy! 😉

Angels & Cowboys Proprietary Red 2018: Characteristics

BODY /  STYLE / OAK / Full-bodied / spicy, floral, fruity, mineral / oaked

SWEETNESS /  Dry

CELLARING /  Drink now or cellar

BEST PAIRINGS /  Cured Meat, Red Meat, Veal roasted

TASTING NOTE /  “The dark cherry/mahogany red color is indicative of the luscious palate structure which leads with briar/bramble berry fruit backed by notes of violets, sweet hibiscus juice, black currant conserves, and red-flesh plum. Meaty and mouthwatering with succulent edges, the full body is built on a tannin structure that starts out silky and fine then builds to a firm yet smooth finish that lingers indulgently on the palate.”
