About Smith Devereux
With a history in music and wine, Smith Devereux began its journey by partnering with winemaker John Anthony Truchard. Formed after a serendipitous backstage interview, the trio (Truchard, Smith, and Devereux) have set upon a course of viticultural world domination making world-class wines at modest prices. Simple enough, right?

Space Shuttle En-Devereux

TASTING NOTES:
“3 is a crowd-pleasing blend that delivers with the perfect balance of full-bodied, luscious syrah with the smoky spice of zinfandel and tannic backbone of cabernet franc.” Look for tastes of ripe red fruit, blackberry, licorice, dark chocolate, vanilla, toasty oak, crisp tannins, and black pepper. (AbV 14.5%, Syrah Zindandel and Cabernet Franc)

BARRELS:
6 months in 40% New French Oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The Space Shuttle Endeavour was used by NASA across 25 missions between 1992 and 2011. Built as the replacement for the ill-fated Challenger, it was named after the British HMS Endeavour sailed by Captain Cook around the world between 1768 and 1771. The space shuttle even carried a piece of the original HMS Endeavour inside the cockpit. This is also why it’s the British spelling rather than the American.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
“This wine should be uncorked without hesitation, at any occasion, and with everything from burgers and pizza to darn fine steak.”

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
A desire to boldly go.
