K Vintners "The Creator"
Went to Wholefoods last night and this Label caught my eye. I was originally going to pick up a bottle of "The Prisoner" but couldn't pass up trying something new.
Price $40-50+
Here is a little review that hits the spot.
The fetching label etching featuring "K" vintner Charles Smith on the front, the white plastic sealing "wax" and the heavyweight bottle with its deep punt get your attention. Now that your mind is focused on the wine inside you might see the creator and the origin, Hallelujah!
K Vintners' proprietor Smith managed rock bands in Europe before settling in Walla Walla to make his signature wines. In addition to the cultish Creator, he makes the very popular "House Wine" Red blend which sells for about $10.
The aesthetic works for me. I like black and white, red wine, not to mention the Walla Walla vibe.
The Creator 2003 is 60% En Cerise Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Seven Hills Vineyard Syrah.
Very nice value ($40). Closure: Real cork. Alcohol content: 13.9%.
Style: Complex, earthy dark fruit and spice with some oak.
Tasting Notes: Appearance: Deep purple eggplant, opaque. Aromas: Sweet spicy blackcurrant preserve is joined by earth and coffee. There's plenty of body but it's smooth to the touch and just lightly tart. The dark fruit lingers as a modicum of oak spice evolves in the resonating finish.
Comment: If I could afford to I would open this one frequently.It is vital that we work to a few golden rules. Always work in a small team. Keep a very low profile. Only deal with people who come recommended. And it's like selling anything else: washing machines, hand made shoes, blowjobs. As long as you don't take the piss people will always come back for more. And that is not to say we don't have that special kind of magic that makes two kilos into three. But never be too greedy.
