Number of Bottles

A sleek & stylish Syrah with a beguiling inner magnetism & seductive glint in its eye— if it were a person it would be some sort of crazy game-changing hybrid of James Bond & James Dean.

Fresh & light-bodied, yes, but juicebox-y one-note park wine this Syrah is not! This is a lighter red with a backstory, a glass of wine like a mystery to be solved: it’s like standing in front of a Jackson Pollock painting, an endless parade of new details to uncover.

Red & blue fruit flavours stroll hand-in-hand with bright green eucalyptus & swirls of spicy tobacco; classic savoury Syrah notes of crispy bacon, cigar box, & leather saddle are woken up by an electric flash of grape stem on the finish. This is a red that can pair with literally anything, even nothing: it’s a red wine drinker’s aperitif!

THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE

FROM HERE ON IN

I wandered aimlessly. Desperately trying to stay on course. Pain caused by you while trying to help creates an unrelenting fog.

Past midnight, streets filled with unrecognizable cheer. Sounds of happy conversation and celebration. Inescapable, despite knowing the way. Weirdly punishing, self indulgent.

Light was distant, but life went on. How could I proceed? Numbing pain is instinctive but never sustainable. I did my best but failed. Torment was a reminder it would happen again.

“You did what you could, nothing would have changed.” I told myself this many times, but in her voice, weight lifted. Light came back, but remembering was requisite. Not to self-inflict, not for virtue, but for more.

Do your best, be your best, from here on in.
