Maybe there was a time when we could say "Yo, this Goose is dizzle-ope!" and get away with it, but those days ended when we left college. Probably before we left college, but we were young and stupid, so we never noticed. And today, we're grown men and women. And we know that talking like "the kids" is a very bad idea.
So we're not going to phocus on the label of this Phat Goose- GET IT? BECAUSE OF all right, see, that's the very thing we were trying to avoid. "Phat Goose" is clever and amusing, but us talking about Phat Goose? Super lame. Super DUPER lame.
So, instead, we'll focus on how this 5-pack comes with four Wine.Woot Gift Bags. We'll focus on how this vintage was specially made for Wine.Woot with a mix of Grenache and Syrah and Mourvedre. We'll focus on the berry and spice and structure and resist the temptation to make a joke about The Fat Boys. Remember them? The Fat Boys? They were fat, but they rapped about it! And, truthfully, they weren't even that fat by today's standards. Really, go check out their first record, they were like a Wal-Mart small.
We'll make you a deal: buy this Phat Goose holiday pack, and we'll never make a joke that involves the words "cheddar" or "Benjamins." Not even once. Okay? Okay.
Includes Wine.Woot Gift Bag 4-Pack
2011 Woot Cellars Phat Goose Red Blend, Central Coast 750ml 5-Pack
A blend specially made for Woot! This Southern Rhone-inspired blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre showcases the best of these varietals from California's Central Coast. Grenache brings berry and spice notes to the mix while Syrah provides color and tannins and Mourvedre adds acidity and structure.
With more Syrah, this wine’s deeper indigo color hints at its ripe blackberry aromas and core flavor of dark fruits with a note of black pepper. A sip reveals a balance of strong acidity and fine grain tannins supported by undertones of spice and blueberries.
The dry finish leaves the slightest hint of vanilla on the palate. The harmonious balance of fruit, tannin and acidity makes this the friendliest and most versatile of food wines. The vibrant flavors would be well-matched with rosemary-rubbed grilled pork tenderloin or GSM-marinated tri-tip steak with leek bread pudding.
