Dark, spiced and faintly animal, Bandol has the sun-baked intensity of Bombay in high summer. Its savage tannins soften into something tender, much like Lin himself.
Poured from vines a few hours from the book's setting, this plush, peppery red keeps the pairing rooted in India. Warm spice and dark fruit mirror the novel's generous, sprawling heart.
An escaped convict dissolves into the heat, hustle and heart of Bombay. Operatic and humane, it reads like a long monsoon evening of confession and friendship.
Fresh pairings on demand, a cellar for your favorites, and readers who drink like you — all in the Bindie app.
