Jared Dixon named a 2015 New England red Big Cats, the label
featuring a lion's head, because Dixon thought it was a big wine. Made from Touriga
and Tempranillo grapes, it is a deep, ruby-red velvet in colour with the
illusion of purple. There's tart hot plum in the perfume, conveying the expectation
of tannin, but it's smooth on the palate, yet with depth and length. Probably
Dixon's best red to date, it represents a mature level of winemaking. Very
drinkable, yet suited to experienced drinkers and fine dining. Very impressive.
