Cochon Wines
Whole Hog Red Blend
California, USA
The most hyper-masculine wine I’ve had in a while, this is deep, dark, roasted fruit, strong coffee, cigar, roasted meat, and smoke on the nose and it doubles down in the mouth with structure you don’t expect for under $30. Not an everyday style, but interesting tonight.

The Cochon line from Odisea focuses on Rhone varietals in the heart of California wine country. The Whole Hog blend is a classic southern Rhone blend. Ripe black cherry, black raspberry and plums combined with white pepper, cocoa and savory spices with a hint of smoke. Have some with bbq this weekend!

Really pleasant with a slightly fruity smell. Balanced and good for a variety of foods. Will get again.

perhaps love is in fact parallel in some ways to magic which is something we use to explain events when logic fails.
