Dock Hooks

She wears more burgundy than many similar others' deep purple lightly draped fittingly fine on a summer's night, swirling left then right sensually fresh, slightly bright bathed soft, light intriguingly interesting in a way that begs for play, so I twist and twirl, then pull her in close where clean minerality and wispy floral accents lead me to a first taste that gains intensity as she reaches more deeply she shows texture, ever so lightly layered she clings, holds acid leading tannins layers of light spice and violet lacing, mostly black, some blue, but only a distant hue and cue of a cherry, more spin, a fine dance, but at 12.5 % I do her again - "hot fun in the summertime..." cool-climate stalks present, teetering tottering but well balanced with the firm tannins and acidity - in search of the cherry in a blackberry patch - give'r a try. cause she sure can dance... santè
