Taraji P. Henson Steps Into a New Chapter of Wine Entrepreneurship
Taraji P. Henson is adding another layer to her growing empire with a new Sweet Red Blend created in partnership with Seven Daughters. Known for her bold career choices on screen and in business, the actress is now turning her passion for wine into something she can share with fans.
This collaboration follows the success of her work with Seven Daughters Moscato. Now, Henson is ready to bring people together with a red wine crafted to reflect warmth, connection, and celebration. “I’m a true red wine lover, and this Red Blend reflects everything I look for in a wine: bold, full of heart, and made to stand out,” Henson told Essence.
A Partnership Rooted in Connection and Community
Henson’s latest venture with Seven Daughters is not just about creating another wine. It is about building spaces where women can connect and celebrate everyday moments. Whether it’s a big event or a casual evening with friends, she hopes the Sweet Red Blend inspires joy.
“Seven Daughters is about fostering community, creating those special connections, and never settling for ordinary,” Henson explained. “This red blend is perfect for year-round celebrations—served chilled, of course—because we deserve to celebrate it all.” Her words highlight her goal of making wine part of meaningful shared experiences.
Inspiration From Italy to Everyday Tables
The actress’s love for wine deepened during a trip to Italy, where she discovered the traditions of winemaking. That inspiration now shows up in the Sweet Red Blend, crafted from Marzemino, Corvina, and Merlot grapes sourced from vineyards in Veneto, Italy. Priced at $14.99, the wine remains accessible while still carrying the luxury of a star-powered collaboration.
The brand describes the blend as versatile, with flavors of fresh white peaches, almond, orange zest, and honeysuckle. Balanced with hints of vibrant wild berries and warm spice, the wine pairs well with a range of foods, from spicy Thai dishes to fruit-forward desserts.
Empowerment in Every Pour
Beyond taste, this partnership carries a deeper message of sisterhood and empowerment. For Henson, wine is more than a drink—it is a way to create “magical moments of connection and lasting memories.” As a Black woman making strides in the wine industry, she also brings representation to a space where few voices look like hers.
By tying her name to a brand that values storytelling and celebration, Henson shows that her entrepreneurial journey is just as impactful as her work in entertainment. The Sweet Red Blend is both a business move and a cultural statement, highlighting the power of women coming together to uplift one another.
