Boy, go put on your lipstick and crack open a bottle of Uncensored. This wine is all about expressing yourself. At Tank, we're all about real, unfiltered fun, and that's what Uncensored is all about. Made with 100% mixed blacks from the notorious Stampede Vineyard in Clements Hills, California, this wine is unapologetically ready for a delicious and wild ride.
"Mixed blacks" is a term used to describe a mishmash of grapes that make up a California field blend. And these grapes aren't coming from just any vineyard. We're talking about the Stampede Vineyard, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, where the grapes are as wild and untamed as the landscape. This vineyard was planted in the 1920s and sits next to the Clements Buckaroos Rodeo Grounds, where the country's largest amateur rodeo, The Clements Stampede, takes place each fall! This unabashed blend of primarily Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Alicante Bouschet (among others) is as wild as the bucking broncos at the stampede.
As soon as you crack open a bottle, you'll be hit with a rush of pure energy—vanilla bean, raspberry, cinnamon, and violets, just like the sweet smell of self-celebrated victory. Now, take a swig. It's a whole cacophony of flavor with juicy red plum and stewed fruit at the forefront, but then it gets down and dirty with earthy notes and a touch of leather on the finish. Another aspect that makes this wine extra unique is its stunningly light tannic structure and body. The texture of Uncensored rolls back and forth like light silk on your palate, ready to tantalize subtly, yet defiantly.
In a world where image often overshadows authenticity, those luscious, dark purple lips are screaming to be heard. Uncensored is all about breaking free, challenging expectations, and not letting anything tie you down. It's about owning your truth, flaws and all, knowing that beauty, truth, and aspiration come in all shades, shapes, and forms. So go ahead and unleash your realest self, and let this wine be your accomplice.
