Style
Like its sibling Social Club White, BOE’s Social Club Red is a medium bodied everyday, go-to red blended in the style of a Bordeaux grand vin. An intense, earthy nose of tobacco, white pepper and chocolate is confirmed on the palate, with additional flavors of dried cherries, dates, black pepper, spices and rich soil. It’s got lots of rustic structure with fine, integrated tannins while not being heavily tannic, making it an easy drinking style that can still warm you up!
Pairing
Social Club White makes a great aperitif or casual sipper, but is extremely food friendly as well. Oysters, shellfish, soft cheeses, salads, and general lighter fare make great matches.
