Texture is surprisingly Chardonnay like, but thrumming with classic explosive Hardy Mourvedre aromatics. Crunchy cran-crabapple, overtones of pine sap and dried herbs, and a hint of mystery funk that almost verges on cannabis. Strike that, yes, it is cannabis. Lol. Cosmic cranberry pot gummy, 100%. A seam of chalky minerals that gives a glimpse of the otherwise well hidden structure. This is Yang to the Family Band’s Yin.

This is going to go down as one of the YEAH! greats. I don’t know if it’s the mold for another signature wine here or if the stars aligned in a way that made it irreplicable. Either way people will be talking about this for a long time. It is the vinous embodiment of the color red, the reddest of all reds. Remember how Bob Ross used to have funny names for all his colors like Van Dyke Brown and Yellow Ochre but red was just Bright Red? This is Bright Red. It is a coulis of red berries steeped to perfection totally streamlined and edgeless with the texture of flowing satin. Everything is done with the most gentle touch, the way Bob does the sky and the reflection in the lake as opposed to the happy little trees. It’s vivid enough to be a wine of joy but mellow enough to be a wine of contemplation. I nursed a bottle for days and it never failed to make me say aaaaah.

Step three: Stare at translucent purple color in disbelief. It’s a dark liquid amethyst.
Step four: Search ReListen for a version of the Grateful Dead playing the Mind Left Body Jam
Step five: Take a sip, and let the music and wine flow. It’s velvety, a more elegant version of Mourvèdre, with each note effortlessly leading into the next. The bass line is quieter, but still provides a foundation that allows the rest of the notes to hover effortlessly over the top.
Step six: RePour.
