It’s the height of summer. The cicadas are deafening, the heat from the sun is blazing. The cacophony of laughter and yelling fills the air. Suddenly, a shock of cold hits you as you jump into the icy waters of the nearby river. The world around you deafens for a moment as you languish in the cool water. Harmony from chaos.
A wild child product of under flor and oxidative aging with a blend of Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, and Touriga Nacional. Samantha Suddon’s Vine Venom Shining is the epitome of everything coming together and striking that perfect balance. It’s the bead of sweat dripping onto your strawberry creamsicle right before you pop it into your mouth. It shouldn’t make sense but it does.
