The Freakshow Invades Tacoma Boys

Four Vines Winery produces a series of small batch wines they call the Freakshow line, and these wines are not only cool to look, they are amazing!

The first wine in this series is called Anarchy. Here is the info from the website:

"2007 "Anarchy", Central Coast (Syrah, Mourvedre, Zinfandel)
I give you ANARCHY... I wanted to think outside the box and create an unconventional Rhone Blend. The blend is based on Syrah for that velvet mouthfeel and rich fruit, Old Vine Zin for spice and that brambly backbone, and Mourvedre provides some anise and makes the whole blend resonate. If you like the Rhone this wine will blow you away!"

The second wine is Heretic. Here is the info:

"2007 "Heretic" Petite Sirah, Paso Robles
As the creator of Heretic I beseech, implore, demand that you SCREAM at complacency (merlot). CRUSH conformity (cabernet). LIVE a life less ordinary… BE the Heretic…drink REAL wine(eclectic alternative varietals). Old vine Petite Sirah: Big, rich layers and layers of black fruit and spice. REAL LIFE…grab it!"

The third wine in this series we carry is the Peasant:

"2007 "Peasant", Paso Robles (Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Counoise)
This traditional Rhone blend is 33% Syrah, 37% Mourvedre, 21% Grenache and 9% Counnoise. On the nose, smokey black fruit and spice, vanilla crème brulee. On the palate, rich black fruit spice and anise finishing long into sexy vanilla oak. Picture a night with Bridget Bardot wrapped in velvet."

The final wine is the Monarchy:

2007 Four Vines Monarchy
51% Petite Verdot 46% Malbec 3% Tempranillo

This wine was an unbelievable treat! I shared a bottle of this with a wine rep from another company, and we were both astonished and perplexed by this wine. It is a conversation starter to say the least with its unconventional blend of varietals. We spent a good hour attempting to dissect this amazing bottle, and came to the conclusion that it was not only exotic, eclectic, and complex, but balanced, focused, and precise.

These wines are not to be missed, and they only come around from time to time, so act now!
