Bottled Up Inspiration
"Look at this one. Isn't it such a marvelous piece?"
Mmm, yes. Quite exquisite. The brushstrokes, the attention to detail. Majestic, really.
"And the smooth fullness of the reds. The color scheme is superb."
On first appearance it seems simple, but the artist's use of multiple reds gives the work a sense of unity without lacking individuality.
"How about these blackberries? What do you imagine they symbolize?"
Excellent question, Eunice. On this side, the blackberries are richly portrayed, but on the other side they are in smaller notes, nestled in the throngs of cedar with a hint of chocolate, and is that, hmmm, I say is that black pepper sprinkled on top? It appears it is! How fascinating.
"The change of pace between the two is expected, but also somehow unexpected."
The whole piece is splendid. I wonder what the artist used for inspiration.
"Hmm, I wonder."
Features
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Dry Creek Valley 750ml
Full bodied with soft, non-astringent tannins, rich with flavors of cassis and blackberry. As the wine opens up, it becomes richer in the glass, making this the kind of wine that you can sip & ponder for hours. What Inspiration enjoys most about their cabs, is that in their young age, you can enjoy them right away, or lay them down for several years because the fruit foundation of the wine lasts and allows for very nice aging.
2010 Syrah, Dry Creek Valley 750ml 2-Pack
Full bodied, balanced with great acidity, you find this wine will age nicely over the next 6 to 8 years. If serving during this first year after release, decanting is recommended in order to get some air into the wine to allow it to open up. The nose is tight with notes of blackberry and chocolate. On the palate you’ll find black pepper, blackberries, cedar, and mocha.
