The Story
Matchbook The Arsonist Red Blend is a bold and richly expressive California Bordeaux-style red blend crafted by Matchbook Wine Company in Dunnigan Hills. Known as Matchbook’s “left-of-center” take on the classic Bordeaux blend, this powerful red is anchored by Petit Verdot and layered with generous notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum, mocha, dark chocolate, vanilla oak, saddle leather, spice, and subtle tobacco undertones. Full-bodied with structured tannins and a plush mouthfeel, this intensely flavourful red delivers impressive richness, complexity, and a long satisfying finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roast lamb, smoked brisket, barbecue ribs, aged cheddar, mushroom dishes, and hearty comfort cuisine.
