Shill-Ah-Blay Mourvèdre & Counoise Blend

70/30 Mourvèdre/ Counoise.

Wow! Smoke & pepper. This was phenomenal.

Pictured above. A hand written note left with a book of short stories by relatively unknown writer, Krzhizhanovsky. The book, I left for when I’m on shift at the coffee shop. A handcrafted wood pen from Muji. And a bottle of cluster processed red wine.

Oh, and books. Many books. I’ve missed them.

Unique pepper jam, peach and jalapeño bouquet. If gunpowder and raspberry compote had sex.

Rich, unctuous, a cornucopia of jammy fruit. This channels the energy of a very robust, energetic universe of soil, water, and sunshine.

Beautiful layer of creamy kick right at the end gives it a little sensual oomph. This one woke me up and made love to my taste buds. Lots of pheromonal references for a juicy, voluptuous wine.

50% Mourvèdre, 50% Marsanne.

Fresh, quaffable, chillable (Shill-ah-blay) red. Or actually, a blend of red and white varieties Mourvedre and Marsanne, sourced from sourced from organic and/or biodynamic vineyards from both the Willamette Valley in Oregon and the Columbia Valley in Washington. Juicy res fruit, hibiscus, nice acidity

Smoke, earth, high-ish acid. Not from favorite Swick thus far but enjoyable stuff

Such a fun wine. Yeasty with bright fruits. Could drink all day everyday.

Vibrant acidity and berry fruit, almost like a shrub cocktail. Extremely and very clean.

Like drinking liquid candy (in a good way)

Delicious chilled red, lightly tart and fruity at the same time. A euphoric scent of banana that makes you crave it even more.
