Sinister Hand | 2015 | $26.99 | 90 Points<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fall is here, sounding the alert in craniums for people to start drinking full-bodied red vino (although, I drink hearty reds all year).<\/p>\n

The Sinister Hand from our friends at Owen Roe becomes increasingly popular as the leaves turn – a perfect transitional wine to ease you from summer to autumn.\u00a0 The soft tannins and bright raspberry notes of Grenache says summer is still kinda here but fleeting, while the richness of Syrah starts to prepare your palate for robust wine, harvest meals, and evenings around the fire.<\/p>\n

Help yourself to the bounty of our Owen Roe wine harvest while you can, like many other seasonal consumables, once Sinister Hand is gone, it won’t be back until next year.<\/p>\n

Sinister Hand 2015<\/h4>\n

This generous fusion of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsaut is easily approachable while displaying undeniable complexity.\u00a0 The Grenache portion of the blend contributes cranberry and raspberry candied fruit notes, while the Syrah fragment delivers darker fruits and savoury characteristics.\u00a0 Mourvedre enhances the structure and richness of the body and provides delicate aromas of violets.\u00a0 Our partially carbonic macerated Cinsaut brings liveliness and tropical fruit flavors to the blend.<\/p>\n

THE STORY<\/h4>\n

Long ago, during the 17th century, the O\u2019Neills and O\u2019Reillys were two revolutionary Irish families. They formed a rowing competition to reserve rights to some highly regarded land. \u00a0The two rowing teams agreed that the first to touch the land, after rowing across the lake, would become ruler of the land. O\u2019Neill\u2019s boat was falling behind so a member of the crew grabbed his own sword, cut off his hand and threw it ashore, winning the title to rule the land. This land still remains in the family.<\/p>\n
