When our California expert tasted this lush red blend, its black currant flavors and warming baking spice tones reminded her of a currant bun (a classic British dessert). A velvety treat on its own, it's also a great match for hearty meat dishes.

When our California expert, Kristina, tasted Currant Bun, she was instantly reminded of its namesake (a classic British dessert pastry, made with currants and baking spices). It was so delicious, she asked the winemaking team if she could have the lot for our customers—and they graciously agreed to save every last drop for you.
Currant Bun hails from Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com), where heat and abundant sunshine produce grapes with ripe, concentrated flavors.
A Cab-dominant blend, Currant Bun brims with juicy black currant and warm baking spice characters. Rich and succulent, it’s a treat on its own or with roasted meats or firm, aged cheeses.
Go ahead—indulge in a bottle (or two!) of this velvety California exclusive.
