Tinto Rey by Matchbook Dunnigan Hills Red Blend is a smooth and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired blend anchored by Tempranillo. Aromas of blueberry, red fruit, and rustic leather lead into a palate rich with boysenberry, red currant, chocolate truffle, and plum. Medium-bodied with soft-grain tannins and a hint of zesty brightness, this Red King pairs beautifully with lamb, spicy sausages, or wood-fired pizza.

CELLAR SELECTION
This opulent Malbec-forward blend delivers loads of crushed blueberry, black plum, coffee and sage aromas on the nose, while the palate displays hearty tannic structure with lavish acidity and flavors of currant, cassis, shattered granite, dark chocolate and licorice. Rest this in the cellar for a decade or more and grill the biggest steak you can find.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
