but they’re ugly
I’ve been making this wine since 2005 vintage so we’ve learned a huge amount about the use of these special barrels
the second bottle is the “mourning belle” with all the skeletons of the past emerging from under her dress
The first bottle is the “promiscuous belle” wielding her deadly charms on her suitors
who tries to contain and control appearances on the estate as if it were a doll house
Strong Arms Red Bordeaux 2018 Wine but they’re uglyWe made our first wine in the superlative vintage 2018. In many ways, Strong Arms is a radical iconoclastic wine. I call it a No Chateau Bordeaux, because everyone wants a Chateau, and I just want great wine. In fact, when Ive shown the wine Ive heard more than once, Wow, Dan, this tastes good. As if Bordeaux is so chic that it doesnt even have to taste good to sell. It just has to be called Chateau. Strong Arms is modern, fresh, clean, fruity, dark
