Herman Story 'Made', California, USA 2021

If rapper and host of Pimp My Ride Xzibit got ahold of Tony Montana’s Cadillac Series 62, this would be the result. We’re talking pearlescent tart-cherry paint job, sweet cream leather seats, crushed-slate hydraulics, a trunk loaded with sage and dried-rose grenades plus a peppered-fig subwoofer that could blow the doors off. And when Tony rides it down dimly lit Miami streets, he’s got enough flashy confidence to take on the world, the world chico, and everything in it. "Red, blue, and black fruits, cedary spice, black pepper, and bay leaf notes all shine in From's 2021 Made, another ripe, full-bodied, textured, and elegant red. Based on 31% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah, 18% Barbera, 17% Teroldego, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, it has fine, polished tannins, a ripe yet weightless mouthfeel, and a great finish. Drink this complex, sexy, incredibly compelling red over the coming decade." Jeb Dunnuck 95
