Young Tempranillo with firm tannin and dark, slightly rugged fruit, it comes from vines that endure harsh extremes. It matches the castaways on Wager Island, scavenging the wreck and foraging in cold rain while their discipline frays.
Structured, cedary, and confident, this is a classic claret with firm tannins. It suits Captain David Cheap, who clung to his authority over the Wager's survivors long after the ship had broken apart.
A true account of HMS Wager, wrecked off Patagonia in 1741, and the castaways whose fight to survive collapsed into mutiny and rival versions of what happened. Grann tells it as gripping narrative nonfiction, alert to how people rewrite events to save themselves.
