Peach Pit

Usually, when a wine maker writes something on the back of their wine it ends up being foolish, condescending and just plane "crap."  Most of these wine bottle blurbs are written through careful marketing studies and focus groups.  

Then, then you read something on the back of wine bottle like,

"Sometimes fruit is simply found on the table that way. Other times it is purposefully arranged. Peaches are half cut open; their white insides clutching their pitted stones. Next to them a scrolling lemon peel, and behind them spotted pears in a perfect "Still Life". On one hand, there is the desire to feel the flesh of the fruit on the tooth; on the other, the sense of how much better it may be tomorrow."

This delicious little vin-yet is on the back of a bottle of Dominio IV Viognier, "Still Life."  It may not tell you the Ph of the wine or the Brix at harvest or even which way the slope faces where the grapes were grown.  What it does artfully do is give you a greater sense of the person who made the wine and an subtle allusion to the flavors in the wine.  You can almost see what the wine might taste like.  If nothing else, this wine bottle paragraph is a pleasant surprise, like a good fortune cookie. So sit back and enjoy both the prose and wine making from the fine folks at Dominio IV.  Simply delicious.
