Herman Story Milk & Honey Tempranillo Blend 2014
Another fantastic release from Herman Story - tiny production. This is the best summer backyard BBQ wedding that has ever happened between two decorated families: cherry ice cream, blueberry and paseo pepper jelly, Maduro cigars, barrel aged Manhattans, blood orange demi glace, red oak coal grilled steak, sun tea, gnawed cinnamon stick, red velvet cake, Italian espresso, Hershey’s Chocolate milk, Turkish delight elixir with the soft sense of promise. 35% Tempranillo, 32% Cabernet, Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 6% Mourvedre, 2% Grenache Paso is a place to push new frontiers in the exploration of full-force _x001E_avor. Milk & Honey 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'er–do–wells, for whom the artwork is an homage.

A really wonderful blend. Tempranillo lead. A true mutt...Bordeaux, So. Rhone meets Spain. Hints of Vanilla popped through a berry fest.

Strong stuff, good fruit, hot but warming as opposed to burning. Just a fun wine which is best enjoyed on a dark, cold evening. 16%+ means you’ll know about it if you go further than halfway down the bottle.

Sexy wine. That's for my friend, Hydrant, who got me a few of these gems. Big, juicy and large luscious fruit! Long finish and silky on the palate.

Been awhile since I opened one of Russell's wines. It has come out swinging in all its full throttle, teeth staining, mouth coating glory. Black berry, cherry kirsch, charred meat, leather, spice. Layers upon layers upon layers with the structure and acidity to go the distance.
