Snoop Dogg has unveiled a limited-edition wine called "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," inspired by his iconic collaboration with Tupac Shakur from 1996. This release marks 30 years since the debut of the song and serves as a tribute to Tupac’s lasting legacy.
Part of Snoop’s Cali by Snoop wine line, this bottle honors their friendship and the cultural significance of their collaboration. The wine is accompanied by a tribute film featuring Snoop reflecting on his memories with Tupac, including a poignant moment where he pours out a little wine in Tupac’s memory, a gesture symbolizing remembrance.
The wine’s name pays homage to their notable track, which was part of Tupac’s celebrated album All Eyez on Me. Snoop expressed that the release is a fitting way to celebrate their joint impact on the music scene and acknowledges the incredible partnership they shared. He remarked, "It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Pac and I got together to make ‘2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.’ Nobody did it like us, and I can’t think of a better way to honor his legacy than with a drink."
The wine bottle’s design reflects an important moment in their career, with imagery from their appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards and a heartfelt tribute from Snoop to Tupac. Both artists were under Death Row Records during a transformative period for West Coast hip-hop, and this collaboration is a defining moment in their histories.
Developed in partnership with Treasury Wine Estates, the wine is crafted to celebrate the cultural imprint of both artists. The limited-edition red blend is primarily made from Petite Sirah, boasting tasting notes of toasty oak, dark fruit, toffee, and spice. Winemaker Michael Garrison describes it as well-structured, featuring integrated tannins with a long finish.
Offered at a suggested retail price of $14.99, the wine is available nationwide at major retailers, including Kroger, Total Wine & More, and through delivery services like Instacart and DoorDash.
For fans of Snoop Dogg and Tupac, this wine represents a special tribute, capturing a nostalgic moment in their careers that continues to resonate today, celebrating friendship and shared memories through music.
