While “less is more” holds true for many things, Round the Blend champions the case for “more is more.” Made from several grape varieties, all sourced from California’s Lodi region, this opulent, full-bodied red is far more than the sum of its parts.

The African Queen (1951). This full-bodied red blend layers several grape varieties for waves of juicy black fruit and nuanced herbal notes—it’s bold, structured and lush, like the undeniable chemistry between Bogart and Hepburn in this World War I adventure. Follow a grizzled riverboat skipper and a spirited missionary as they navigate treacherous waters to take on the Germans in Africa. Our Round the Blend wine alludes perfectly to their perilous journey down the river, while its velvety tannins and fresh acidity mirror the film’s perfect balance of danger and romance.
