Merchant's description

Cellar for up to 9 years. No need to decant before serving. The quirky Chronic Cellars brand was founded by brothers Josh and Jake Beckett in 2004. The duo decided it was about time to put their love of winemaking to good use converting “chronic’ or top quality grapes into exceptional wines. The brothers were born into a winemaking family in Paso Robles, so they spent their early years helping out washing barrels down and working on the bottling line. This early training prepared them well for this ambitious young project which focuses on using the best of everything wherever possible. The brothers’ long-standing local connections gives them access to the best Paso Robles fruit which is carefully selected by Josh for his delicious blends. The finishing touch is their characterful labels which were designed by a childhood friend and talented artist. The brothers’ Sir Real Cabernet is sure to please lovers of big reds with a generous full body, smooth tannins and a well-built structure. Luscious cassis, blackberry and dark cherry notes define the nose while the palate has lots of bramble, plum and winter spice. The hearty flavour profile makes this a great partner for rib eye steak, beef stews or rich vegetarian dishes like aubergine parmigiana.
