Magic is the Red Blend that demands your attention, a brilliant splash of color in a monochromatic world, much like a canvas ripped straight from The Factory. We took the finest, richest grapes Napa had to offer, ran them through our own artistic filter, and bottled a bold, brilliant statement that tastes like the cover of a magazine and hits like the chorus of a rock-and-roll anthem. Featuring a label that pays homage to the Velvet Rumble record that changed everything, this blend doesn't just rest on your table; it hangs on your wall. It's the taste of fame, the color of desire, and the perfectly curated scandal, proving that the most delicious art is the one you can finally sip.

Story: The Syrah, the wild heart of the blend, was fermented with 20% stem inclusion, a deliberate move that injects a layer of savory structure and unapologetic complexity. Both the Syrah and the St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon then underwent a period of extended maceration, deepening their color and extracting concentrated character until the liquid was a saturated masterpiece ready for its close-up. The Cabernet, providing the classic Napa velvet drape, was polished through aging in 20% new French oak, lending a necessary kiss of spice and luxurious texture. This careful, extended production process ensures the final blend is a seamless fusion of wild structure and high-gloss glamour, perfectly balancing Napa's richness with an electrifying, iconic edge.

Wine Story

Sip the Icon. Taste the Scandal.

Forget the dusty châteaux and the subtle whispers of terroir. Sex! Magic is the Red Blend that demands your attention, a brilliant splash of color in a monochromatic world, much like a canvas ripped straight from The Factory. We took the finest, richest grapes Napa had to offer, ran them through our own artistic filter, and bottled a bold, brilliant statement that tastes like the cover of a magazine and hits like the chorus of a rock-and-roll anthem. Featuring a label that pays homage to the Velvet Rumble record that changed everything, this blend doesn't just rest on your table; it hangs on your wall. It's the taste of fame, the color of desire, and the perfectly curated scandal, proving that the most delicious art is the one you can finally sip.

This isn't just a vineyard; it's a foundation for fame. The pure, dark intensity of Sex! Magic is driven by Syrah from the legendary Frediani Vineyard in Calistoga. Its ancient, nearly 25-year-old vines don't live the easy life; they are rooted deep in notoriously poor, rugged volcanic soils, forcing them to struggle and pour all their energy into the fruit. This beautiful stress results in a concentrated flavor that brings the drama and the necessary edge, delivering an intensity and concentration that brings the drama. For the high-gloss polish and classic velvet texture, we draw on pure Cabernet Sauvignon from the St. Helena valley floor, adding the rich structure essential to any icon. Finally, for the signature flash and effortless lift, the unexpected wink that makes a star, we include a carefully calculated touch of Viognier, giving this bold Napa blend a truly scandalous brightness and expressive finish.

To craft this high-voltage Napa Red Blend, the components underwent a truly artistic, yet traditional, production process. The Syrah, the wild heart of the blend, was fermented with 20% stem inclusion, a deliberate move that injects a layer of savory structure and unapologetic complexity. Both the Syrah and the St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon then underwent a period of extended maceration, deepening their color and extracting concentrated character until the liquid was a saturated masterpiece ready for its close-up. The Cabernet, providing the classic Napa velvet drape, was polished through aging in 20% new French oak, lending a necessary kiss of spice and luxurious texture. This careful, extended production process ensures the final blend is a seamless fusion of wild structure and high-gloss glamour, perfectly balancing Napa's richness with an electrifying, iconic edge.

This is a complex and highly expressive blend with a taste that demands a standing ovation. On the nose, you'll immediately find the glamour: concentrated dark fruit like black plum and crushed blackberry, layered with seductive notes of good spice and a hint of purple floralness from the Viognier. The first sip reveals a full-bodied experience with a surprisingly fruit-forward energy that distinguishes it from a typical brooding Syrah. The palate is a harmonious, high-contrast mix of rich dark fruit, savory structure, and an ethereal floralness that adds a beautiful lift. The tannins are firm, ensuring longevity, but integrated enough for instant pleasure, leading to a vibrant and expressive finish. This wine is exceptionally food-friendly, pairing effortlessly with rich, savory dishes like classic Ossobuco, high-energy street food like Carne Asada Tacos, or an A-List Cheeseboard featuring aged Gouda and sharp, spiced cured meats.

Sex! Magic is the Red Blend that refuses to be ignored, blending the rich drama of classic Napa Valley with an electrifying, Warhol-inspired twist. Like a velvet rope leading to a secret, exclusive party, this wine captures the irresistible draw of iconic glamour and the seductive risk of rock-and-roll. Each sip offers a mix of volcanic intensity and surprisingly fruit-forward energy, revealing new depths of dark fruit and floral spice that keep the spotlight firmly fixed on your glass. Rich yet undeniably vibrant, this wine is the kind of legendary companion you can't quite forget, always leaving you craving the next high-contrast moment.
