DIXIE & BASS WINES

The 2019 Dixie & Bass Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé is a beautiful, pale salmon color, with bright and savory herbal notes and just a hint of cranberry. Crisp, dry and refreshing, it’s ideal for classic warm weather fun from sunny daytime picnic to sunset bar-b-que and bonfire. Savor with fresh oysters, a Niçoise salad, or a festive mix of tapas, mezzes, or a charcuterie.

The 2018 Dixie & Bass Red Mountain Reserve is an instant classic. Made exclusively from Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it’s vigorous yet subtle enough to pair beautifully with roasted duck or a juicy ribeye. This delicious wine reflects the quintessential Dixie & Bass spirit, elegant enough to impress the in-laws, but too tempting to save for special occasions.

Balancing the structure of a Cab and Cab Franc with the juiciness of Malbec and Merlot, our 2018 Red Blend is the perfect companion for a cozy afternoon of cooking or a chill evening by the fire. Inviting on the palette, this red is surprisingly complex and fruity. Pour with pungent cheeses like gorgonzola, a grilled pork tenderloin, or wild rice and mushroom-stuffed peppers.

Starting out bright and citrusy, our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc develops more complex overtones of toasty oak, fig and herbs. Pair this flexible wine with a creamy goat cheese and bitter greens salad, tangy pesto risotto, or a halibut tostada with yogurt lime sauce. Start planning your warm weather gatherings, this wine will entertain now through the dog days of summer.

With hits of oak, mocha and cherry, this Cab is deliciously drinkable on its own, yet plays nice with others. It pairs well with a broad range of meats and cuisines — everything from a picante lamb burger, to braised short ribs, to grilled Portobellos. And, while it tastes like a much more expensive wine, it’s priced just right so you don’t have to wait for a special occasion.
