Garage Toolbox Red, 2021

A Bordeaux Blend synonymous with Rooster Cogburn, as uncomplicated as it is intricate, making it an instant classic like True Grit. Toolbox opens with no mercy with sweet aromas of graham cracker, cinnamon toast, and black cherry cola. Its rugged individualism persists with a subtle earthy character and sagebrush completing the aromatics. Like the Duke himself, this wine continues to stick to its signature style of being an imposing character marked by incredible tension balanced with a soft and supple mouthfeel with layers of milk chocolate, cherry cordial, and vanilla. Equally crushable and nuanced, this blend will have you relishing its simplicity (or is it complexity?), from which you will take a great, abiding pleasure. Toolbox packs a ton of fruit, which consistently makes it our top seller, because baby sister, it was born game, and it intends to go out that way.
