Slo Down Wines Sexual Chocolate 2022 California Red Blend

The Moment

This is the bottle you bring when dinner is already rich and the conversation is about to get louder.

It’s bold. It’s plush. It’s unapologetically indulgent — but still smooth enough to keep pouring.

Open this when you want a red that doesn’t whisper.

What It Feels Like

The nose is deep and hedonistic — ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and plum wrapped in warm spice and a subtle leathery richness. There’s a hint of cocoa and vanilla in the background, but it’s integrated — not sweet, not gimmicky.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky. Syrah brings smoky depth and dark fruit intensity. Zinfandel adds warmth and that chocolate-covered cherry feel. Malbec (and sometimes Merlot) rounds it out with structure and spice.

The texture is soft and lush, finishing smooth and lingering with polished tannins and a slow, velvety fade.

Big, but balanced. Decadent, but drinkable.

Why We Love This Bottle

Because it leans into pleasure without losing composure.

It’s a crowd-pleaser that still has depth. A bold red that doesn’t fight you. The name gets attention — the texture keeps people coming back.

It’s a Friday night bottle that drinks like a celebration.
