The duo impresses with new single-vineyard wines from California and New Zealand.
from Aotearoa, a subregion of Central Otago which uses New Zealand’s original native name; Reserve Cocky Motherf*cker 2021 Pinot Noir, sourced from select rows in the Escolle Vineyard in California’s Santa Lucia Highlands; and Reserve Rebels 2021 Gamay, which hails from a single vineyard in Bannockburn, another Central Otago sub-region. Quite a large step up from the Black Girl Magic wines, which sell for around $20, the three new bottlings retail for $70.
While many brands start with a single high-end wine and then release a second, more affordable label in order to capture additional market share, the sisters decided to reverse the process, because, as Robin explains, “We understand that people have different tastes and different moods and occasions to celebrate. That’s why we have three core wine brands within our portfolio, each of which was created with different consumer moments in mind.
While Gamay, the main grape of Beaujolais, is an unusual choice, the McBride Sisters Collection 2021 Reserve Rebels Gamay showcases the best aspects of the variety. It offers a heady bouquet of raspberry, red plum and lavender that sets the stage for a sheath of polished tannins encasing raspberry, pomegranate, clove, and freshly ground black pepper flavors that linger on the palate.
In addition to being grown an ocean apart and in two different hemispheres, their two Pinot Noirs are very different stylistically, which is reflected in their names. Cocky Motherf*cker is named for the sisters’ father. “Cocky Motherf*cker pays tribute to our late father’s legacy,” she says. “It stands for his presence, stature, intellect, and overall give-no-f*cks attitude. He was elegantly confident, just like our Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir.
McBride Sisters Collection 2020 Reserve Papatūānuku Pinot Noir has a nose of raspberry, purple plum, cedar chest, clove, and a touch of nutmeg. It is soft in the mouth, with polished tannins and flavors of black and red fruits of the wood, purple flowers and a touch of graphite that lingers into the smooth finish. McBride Sisters Collection 2021 Cocky Motherf*cker Pinot Noir offers bold aromas of cherry preserves, strawberry, and candied orange peel.
