The Pour
2
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
Full-bodied red🇺🇸 California, USA · Cabernet Sauvignon
A dark, firm-tannined red that matches the menace of Pinkie's gang without any fuss. Pour it for the late chapters, when the tension tightens.
The Mood
A teenage razor-gang boss and a vulnerable waitress collide on the grimy seafront of 1930s Brighton. Greene's pursuit thriller doubles as a bleak meditation on guilt and damnation.
