Why We Love It

A Bold Wine Ready to Take on the World

Activist was cultivated in climates with cooler nights and less balmy conditions, which is why it is much more elegant and refined, with mineral and graphite notes underneath a blanket of ripe black fruits. We also love the high-impact label that is so well suited to the Activist name and experience!

ACT now and get ACTIVIST!!

Tried this beautiful smooth red tonight with seared ahi tuna. It was the best pairing I've had in a long time with our "Asian" night. My husband and I enjoyed finishing the bottle on it's own after dinner for "dessert". Run, don't wait, to get this wine before it's gone!!

Amazing complex red

This is my new favorite !!! This paired amazingly well with a ribeye steak and mushrooms. I hated having to share it! This is a must buy for anyone that LOVES a complex but well balanced glass of red wine . Simply amazing.

Best wine ever

Tried Activist for the first time tonight with just a simple cheese and cracker pairing, and OMG is it so good! It is definitely worth the price and highly recommended it!

Big, bold fruit flavor

Activist is a perfectly balanced red - super smooth, bold flavor and just a hint of peppery goodness! It had been a while since I've had a Syrah and now I'm questioning why I ever stopped picking them up! This bottle will be making it into my normal rotation. Have you ever sipped on something that took to you another place and flooded you with memories?!?!? After returning home from visiting family I was craving my uncle's berry cobbler. Activist brought those flavors to my taste buds perfectly!!! Now I can sit back with a glass of Activist and soak in all the memories. This will be the bottle I grab on my way to the next dinner party.

Perfect for Christmas Prime Rib

I brought this to my family Christmas dinner of prime rib and horseradish. It was a big hit! The spice from the horseradish and the marbling in the meat paired so perfectly and brought out the sweetness and fruit bouquet of the wine. I would definitely recommend Activist to anyone who is looking for the perfect wine to serve with prime rib, or any steak or roast. Very high quality wine for a very low price!
