Dark purple color in the glass, The Surrealist by JCB, a Petit Verdot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is a rich and opulent wine. Opening with notes of black berries, cedar and toast, and a hint of spice, this wine will leave you wanting for more. The velvety, plush, opulent mouthfeel coats your palate; the tannins rich and dense make this wine elegant and cellar-worthy.

We called it the Surrealist as the world of surrealism has possessed me and myself forever as portraying the experience of contrasting worlds: celebrating tradition and modernity, the real and the imagined, the past and the future, the consciousness of the self and the other, the inner and the outer worlds. Surrealism is the passage from one state to another, while also representing, for wine, the two facets of wines, the two colors of wine, the personalities of all our senses, the evocation of transformation, and the notion that time and space is limitless thanks to the elixir of freedom! It is the ultimate plane where dreams, exploration and passion create an "esprit nouveau" !

And at the epicenter of our senses and emotions, the Surrealist is the perfect clarity of vision to hold multiple worlds within: You and Yourself, Me and Myself, well, our own vision of the world!

The Surrealist as a wine represents the freedom of our own interpretation of flavors, smells, texture and senses where each can further interpret independently their own geography of pleasure. May it inspire you to put theory into practice, actuality into fantasy, where the discovery of our creation will spark a surreal event and catalyze an epiphany within you and yourself.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Surrealist is pure perfection in a glass. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot brought up all in new barrels, it has a sensational perfume of crème de cassis, toasted spices, vanilla, and hints of toasty oak. With a huge, full-bodied, opulent personality, no hard edges, incredibly polished tannin, and a huge finish, this tour de force has everything you could ask for in a Napa Valley Cabernet! Drink it anytime over the coming two decades or more. Hats off to winemaker Stephanie Putnam!
