The Inspiration

Syrah is the spice; she is the dance, and an evening of dangerous possibilities . . . When she flows like a sultry summer night into her shapely vessel, she is almost ready to be explored. All she needs is the final touch, something that entices and beckons you hither. She needs the perfect label.

Dust off that moleskin notebook, sit down with a glass and let the wine take you on a journey of discovery and adventure. When the perfect metaphor washes over you, write your best prose and enter it for a chance to be immortalized on the back labels of Dominio IV’s 2007 Syrah.

The Dominio IV Syrah ’07 can be described as:

Green tea

White pepper

Blackberry

Texture: marbles

Color: purple black

Good wine, like good writing is a complex balance of flavors and emotions.

Every word and every grape should be allowed to linger; every nuance savored.
