Herman Story Proprietary Red "MILK & HONEY" Paso Robles 750mL
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | For Russell P. From, Paso is a place to push new frontiers in the exploration of full-force flavor. Milk and Honey is a blend of 72% Tempranillo, 19% Syrah, 7% Mourvdre, and 2% Petit Verdot, and exposes the best of the promised land. Tempranillo was chosen as the base of this blend due to its similarity to one of Paso's new keystone varietals, Grenache, while also giving a nod to the region's stylistic similarities to Ribero del Duero. While Paso is an emerald city for some, it is also home to derelicts and grifters and ne'erdowells, for whom the artwork is an homage. Russell writes his tasting notes like a story, and this one reads: "Like you always say, its not a private-school fundraiser until someone throws a punch. To the great dismay of the superintendent, the scrum is upending trays of red velvet macarons and auction ready gift baskets. Benefactors in chocolate-lapelled jackets grappling over pepper-plum tortes. Punch-soaked valedictorians wielding cognac lamb chops like hatchets. Dark-fruit haymakers full of menace and mille-feuille. And by the time the smoke has settled and theyre searching for the provocateur, youre already in the parking lot, sipping bourbon with the custodians." |
