Color us Slingshooted … Slingshotted … Slingshat? Something.
You, too, could save the village and make a new friend.
Cut off his head? Why would we do that? You’ve got that giant all wrong. Sure, he talked a good game:
“CHALLENGE ME! SEND OUT YOUR CHAMPION!”
But he’s not a bad guy.
No, we didn’t threaten to “smite” him. We just offered him a handshake, a bottle of 2011 Slingshot Cab, and some conversation. See, he wanted people to fear him. He spent his life being the scary giant because that’s the only way people respected him. After years of being mocked when he was young, he felt he had no other choice but to be mean.
After a couple of glasses of berries, dried cherries, currants and herbs, he opened up. He’s pretty friendly when you get to know him. And, boy, does he love the lyre! We sang songs, talked about life, and nobody had their head bashed in! Nice!

Everyday Drinking With A Mischievous Smile
Our family proudly crafts the wines of Slingshot from our Napa Valley vineyard - delicious wines of character and complexity. Enjoy Slingshot as you forge your own path and discover your own adventure. Remember, wine should be fun!
This is a complex young red made in an approachable, drinkable style, but with plenty of links to its deep roots in profound Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Opening with a classic ripe aroma of berries, currants and hints of dried herbs and cedary oak, there wafts over the top an impression of graphite that hints at depth and richness to come. In the mouth the wine begins with a medium-bodied structure showing only a slight grip of ripe tannins, giving it a round, balanced feel that begs to be drunk straight away. The flavors of berries, dark cherries, currants and herbs are more effusive than the aroma, suggesting that the youthful aroma will expand with some bottle age which will be supported by the dash of astringency lurking in the long finish.
