Speaking of horses, the wine is named after the owner's daughter, Alice. Surely she gets a cut of the profits, or at least he could buy her a horse. We might get that trending - #BuyAliceAPony. Mind you, I might be taken out by sniper if I keep that chat going, so it's probably safer to get to the wine in question...
I'll tell you what though, this wine has the potential to take you to higher places. I love the feels and the mystique about it. You get a sense it is like a hawk circling in a sun drenched blue sky. You know it's going to swoop down soon, but when...
And when it does it's captivating. As the evenings cool, it's a drink the bottle without sharing sort of proposition. Admittedly I fell into that trap. Raspberries and dark chocolate get me in early. It's earthy with touches of char. Dried herbs too. Some juicy fruit chimes in with a smattering of black pepper. A little slippery in the mouth, silty perhaps? It gains traction with fine tannins running long. I dig it and it's a wine (and variety) well worth getting around. Lovely stuff.
