Unbelievably big jammy Languedoc! Starts as earthy mushroom on stale wheat bread, moldy rooibos tea bag is dancing on bright red icing. Pure tincture of blackberry acid etches onto your tongue! The basil, parsley and burnt pickle prickle forth to slap you silly with vulcan's smoky paw! In your face!!! She lives in a junkyard built on a landfill, and she sleeps on a bed of copralite and bones. Enjoy, and then head towards the light Carrie Ann!! #languedoc #closdestruffiers — 10 years ago
Moselland Black Cat Riesling -
According to legend, three wine merchants came to the town of Zell (in Germany) to buy wine. In one of the cellars, they tasted several wines out of different barrels.
They had narrowed the choice to three barrels but they couldn’t agree on which one was the best. They were about to take another sample, when a black cat suddenly jumped on one of the barrels, arched its back, its fur standing on end, and swiped its paw at anyone who tried to get closer. The wine merchants quickly came to an agreement and chose the barrel which was so obstinately defended by the cat, thinking that it probably contained the best wine.
The merchants marketed the wine under the name “Zeller Schwarze Katz” (black cat from Zell) and it became so popular that other wine growers and the city government eventually gave this name to its vineyard of origin, in the town of Zell.
Moselland was the first and only winery to actually market their wine in a black, cat shaped bottle! — 11 years ago
Hands down one of the fullest, creamiest hints of caramel throughout this jammy cab franc. I seriously love what this winery can do. #oregonwine #cabfranc #delicious #drinkme — 11 years ago
