the Superlative Intoxicant no.1: a date with Owen Roe's Sinister Hand.

Owen Roe's '08 Sinister Hand pours one complex glass; the syrah, mourvedre, and primarily grenache blend is truly erotic fun for all ages.

At first acquaintance, the dusty spice of the nose coerces one into sipping the dark, warm sensuality of subtle, dry, peppered vanilla and decadent raspberry, which continues to tease with little bites (14% alcohol!), finally finishing with hazy nostalgia for the last romantically glowing autumn in which you frolicked about in freshly washed laundry.

To further the wine's erotic personality, the bottle is adorned with a mysteriously gory label and the alluring tale of how a detached appendage was tossed to win sovereignty over an ancestral Irish island.
