A blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache from the famed Old Vine Region in the Barossa Valley of Australia, 19 Crimes Red Blend is aged in 100% American oak and is available at Trader Joe’s, Costco and elsewhere for as low as $7.
And it's full of rich, fruity flavor which does benefit from a little time aerating, but no more than a few minutes or a few passes from glass to glass to achieve its full redolence.
One other thing that may prove off-putting, but really shouldn't, is a distinctly unpleasant image of a prisoner on each bottle. As unappetizing as this may seem, it's actually part of a clever little promotion involving a free app and a bit of historical knowledge.
So drink up with gusto, enhancing the experience with ancillary information or not, as you'll enjoy it either way.
