Wine Details
Price:
$68.00 per bottle
Description:
Dark ruby color, earthy aromas of dusty herb, deep blackberry and cassis lead to complex layers of blackberry, clove and molasses flavors. The broad palate is framed by fine grain tannins that convey the rich black fruit and cedar flavors through a long finish. The label is the story of "Hymn to Dionysus," by Homer in which pirates abduct Dionysus, the son of Zeus and patron deity of wine, theater and song, having mistaken him for a wealthy prince. The god the Romans later called Bacchus avenges his captors by filling the ship with wine and causing a giant grapevine to overtake the mast. The panicked sailors realize their error and leap overboard, when Dionysus mercifully spares their lives by transforming them into dolphins. The fourth of seven labels in the Millennium Series, the 'Epic' label brings us to the 7th century BC, when Greek mythology elevated winemaking to the divine.
