special XLB release

Delicious drops and delectable dollops of saltwater taffy drip down like translucent lava from lamps red as the flesh of plum, poignant as passion berry paint oozing forth betwixt fenugreek, heirloom tomatoes, oregano, and mustard weed, haphazardly hiding in the pristine purple myrtle flowers from whence they will launch their next surprise sortie to trip and tangle fallibly flippant feet.

How could you not help but admire the shine and sparkle, the pierced ears and the gold leaf adorned bosoms of linen laden dancers, clad in bright robes of cherry, quince, lime, and boysenberry. Then, let us depart at once, in a single leap across the Atlantic, bound for the Mediterranean and Spain, where we will surreptitiously slurp spicy caracoles; in a sweaty close quartered bar of course, with off-cast servilletas and purposely plundered caparazóns collecting at our feet; as they mingle delightedly, for us that is, albeit less than comfortably for our unfortunate terrestrial gastropod friends, amongst longaniza, with its hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, aniseed and paprika.

Golden-hued berries, apricots with honey, all entwined with exotic fragrances of kiwi, passion fruit, and almonds wafting in her wake. Upon each luxurious sip, she is akin to the unveiling of the Soul of the Rose. 

Clasping his intricately hand-carved Bjarne briarwood pipe as savory Peterson Navy Roll smoke curls and floats with aromas of grass and brine, gold-trimmed woolen cap upon his head, entrenched in the warmth of his Jacquard sweater and Peacoat, collar upturned to ward off the chill of morning he gazes in greeting to his beloved Caledonia. 

As he serenely and unhurriedly descends the near endless spiraling steps, he catches warm scents wafting from the kitchens. Charred flesh roasting on spits, cardamom spiced beef with scallions and sauteed shallots tantalize his senses, while macerated strawberries and Ceylon cinnamon lure him ever onward. Now, quickening his pace, his royal mantle cascading about his blessed body, armored elegantly in amber trinkets and brilliant red baubles, he bursts through the iron-studded doors.

blend | 55% Grenache + 23% Syrah + 15% Mourvedre + 7% Petite Sirah

Even the rustic chair is overflowing with wicker baskets and jute bags bursting with the bounties of a foraging excursion. In a cast iron pot hanging above the hearth, red wine-soaked sausage simmers gently amidst lion’s mane mushrooms, Cara Cara orange peels, tarragon, wild ramps, leeks and Tulbaghia Violacea the aromatic, edible, purple, wild garlic flowers.
