14 Hands Stampede Red Blend 75cl

Pour this when you want a red that shows up loud and friendly, not fussy. 14 Hands Stampede is a California red blend built for real life, pizza on the table, music on, glasses not matching.

It’s a dry, fruit-forward style that leans into ripe flavour and an easy, sip-again finish. If Cabernet Sauvignon can feel a bit serious and Pinot Noir can feel a bit light, this sits right in the happy middle.

• Appearance: Deep ruby with a dark, inky edge in the glass.
• Nose: Ripe blackberry and black cherry up front, with a little cocoa and sweet spice in the background.
• Palate: Juicy dark fruit leads, then a gentle hit of baking spice, with soft tannins that don’t dry your mouth out.
• Body: Medium-bodied, with enough weight to feel satisfying but still easy to drink.
• Finish: Medium length, lingering on berry and a faint mocha-like note.

Food pairing: Make it a win with a smash burger (extra pickles), pepperoni pizza, or a steak-spiced roast chicken and crispy potatoes.

This is also a solid “house red” move. Keep it around for last-minute guests, casual dinners, or when you want one bottle that won’t start an argument at the table. Pop it, pour it, and let it do its thing.

If your usual is Aussie Shiraz or an easy-drinking California Cab, this is a natural next step, similar bold fruit vibes, but with a smoother, more flexible feel thanks to the blend.

Give it a little air in the glass and it opens up fast, more fruit, more spice, more “wait, pour me a bit more.” No overthinking required.

Fun Fact: 14 Hands is named after the wild horses that still roam Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills, the “stampede” vibe is a nod to that untamed spirit.
