Maverick - Trailblazer 25

The 2025 Maverick is an unapologetically fruit-forward red blend built for those who refuse to settle for ordinary. A Cabernet Sauvignon-led core gives the wine structure and depth, while generous Merlot rounds the palate with plush, dark fruit richness. Petit Verdot steps in with vivid color, inky concentration, and a whisper of violet and spice. Cabernet Franc lends its unmistakable herbal lift—dried sage and red currant—keeping the blend lively and defined. A touch of Chambourcin, New Jersey own hybrid, weaves in a
note of earthy authenticity that reminds you exactly where this wine was born.
On the nose: blackberry, dark cherry, and ripe plum open first, followed by dried herbs, mocha, and toasted oak. The palate is lush and approachable—silky tannins lead to a finish of dark chocolate, vanilla, and lingering cedar.
Aged in a curated mix of French, American, and Hungarian barrels (25% new oak), this wine strikes the rare balance between crowd-pleasing accessibility and genuine winemaking craft. Whether poured from the bottle or served straight from the keg—where a light chill brings out the wine's vibrant fruit—the Maverick shows up for every occasion. Its a wine that earns its name.
