Varietals: St. Croix & Cabernet Sauvignon
 
Named for the legendary red stripe worn on the dress blue trousers of U.S. Marines—a symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment—Blood Stripe is a bold, commanding dry red blend that pays tribute to the strength and honor of those who serve.
Nose: Deep and resolute, the nose opens with worn leather, ripe plum, and blackberries, underscored by earthy tobacco, toasted oak, and a distinct peppery edge—a salute to the grit and discipline of the few and the proud.
Palate: Structured yet refined, the palate leads with dark fruit—blackcurrant, plum skin, and blackberry—framed by cedar, cracked pepper, and a touch of smoke. A foundation of St. Croix's rustic charm is reinforced by Cabernet’s depth and tannic backbone, creating a wine of purpose and poise.
Finish: The finish is long, firm, and enduring. Notes of charcoal, cocoa, and black fruit echo like a distant drumbeat, leaving a final impression of warmth, strength, and lasting respect.
Foods: Perfect alongside grilled steaks, lamb with rosemary, or wild game. Equally commanding when paired with smoked cheeses or shared in a quiet toast among brothers and sisters in arms.
