A neck up silhouette of a Great Dane adorns the front label of this wine — hence the name — and the wine is as big as its namesake, carrying black fruit, black pepper, baker’s chocolate on a viscous texture through a long fully integrated finish. A fine foil for grilled beef in just about any expression. A blend of Malbec, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Barr Estate, Paso Robles (California) 2013
