Wine Story

Hit Hard, Finish Smooth.

Ladies and Gentlemen, lend me your ears! Hailing from the California vineyards, a new champion has emerged to challenge the stale, dusty palate of old. They call it Money Punch, and I tell you, it's got the goods! The label, magnificent in every sense, captures the legendary Clevelander, Johnny “The Cyclone” Kilbane, mid-strike: precise, electric, unstoppable. This is pure California power in a bottle, folks, delivering a knockout taste worthy of its name! Don’t be a scrub. Taste the Flavor of Fortune. Money Punch is poised to become the undisputed champion of your dinner table.

This magnificent blend draws its power from the hallowed grounds of Shake Ridge, the soaring heights of White Hawk, the focused intensity of Green Valley Vineyards, and the coastal composure of Siletto Tres Pinos Creek! From this grand circuit of vineyards, we taste the truth of extraordinary sparring partners: Shake Ridge's volcanic soil delivers the wine's depth and drama, while the elevation of White Hawk and the weathered touch of Stiletto Tres Pinos Creek bring coastal freshness and delicate lift. And what is this champion built upon? A foundation of muscle: the formidable Syrah and Zinfandel; the deft footwork of Valdiguié and Cabernet Sauvignon; all lifted by the surprising elegance of Viognier and the formidable structure of Mourvèdre!

A true expression of California’s finest, this wine was crafted through a meticulous, traditional production process. The grapes were carefully destemmed and given an extended 18–35 days of skin contact to build deep color and draw out the full character of the fruit. From there, the wine rested in French oak barrels, allowing the blend to gain complexity, soften its tannins, and reveal the refined, elegant style that defines a well-made California wine. The result is a beautifully integrated profile, intense in flavor yet remarkably balanced. This is precision winemaking at its best.

Gather close, for this is a true exhibition of finesse! This is no common gulp, but a dazzling showcase of footwork and grace, with a legend in every pour! On the nose, you'll find the stunning aromas of deep, dark fruit, ripe plum, and the distinct crushed rock and dried chaparral notes from California's tough, wild training grounds! The first sip reveals a full-bodied wine with a rich, velvety texture, delivering a palate that is a harmonious balance of dark fruit, savory spice, and an earthy minerality that adds a beautiful depth. The firm, yet well-integrated tannins lead to a long and graceful finish, proving this wine is built for the long haul! This is an exceptionally food-friendly, pairing effortlessly with rich, savory dishes like a hearty Ribeye Steak, a slow-cooked Lamb Shank, or even a plate of bold, spicy Barbecue Ribs.

Money Punch is a uniquely layered wine that channels the bold spirit of the main event. A deep core of rich, dark fruit, driven by Syrah and Zinfandel, brings immediate power, while Valdiguié, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvèdre add structure and nuanced strength beneath the surface. The result is a wine that is both intense and refined, a true contender for those who appreciate the quiet strategy and hard-earned victory that come to life under the lights of the ring, just as Johnny “The Cyclone” Kilbane did in his legendary run.
