{"product_id":"maverick-trailblazer","title":"Maverick - Trailblazer 25","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u003cbr\u003enote of earthy authenticity that reminds you exactly where this wine was born.\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003cbr\u003eAged 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winery","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":45879963091001,"sku":"MV25","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6419\/1033\/files\/Maverick_91aef50d-751a-40ed-91c4-e0d0807e3453.png?v=1785164548","url":"https:\/\/saddlehill.com\/products\/maverick-trailblazer","provider":"Saddlehill Winery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
