Label TR;DR: Unlike its namesake Clash of the Titans, Clash of the Tannins is anything but a battle—Cabernet Franc and Malbec are bold heavy hitters that actually get along better than Bert & Ernie. This Okanagan blend proves opposites attract, delivering juicy, powerful flavors without overpowering each other. Paul’s label art nods to a twisting tale of Tennessee bootleggers, elephants, and planetary intrigue, because every legend deserves a little myth.
