2009 *%#&@! (Rhone blend)
$18 Regular Price / $14.40 Twisted Few Price
Sounds like Cluck, pairs with Duck - what more can we say without gettin’ keelhauled and sent to walk the plank? We can say that this Rhône-style blend is a veritable broadside of aromas and flavors. Just the thing to “splice the mainbrace”, if you know what we mean.

Tasting Notes
The meaty and peppery characters and hints of Provençal herbs and spices might have you thinking this Cote du Rhône-style blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, and Grenache just fell out of a “California Cheese” commerical. Well, the name is the only cheesy thing about it! Those bright fruit flavors of blueberry and cherry sure ain’t no bull! (Note: No animals were harmed in the writing of these tasting notes.)

13% Syrah - from Tanner Vineyards
