Quite literally, this wine represents & manifests the notion of Synchronicity as it was interpreted by The Police with their classic album & this wines namesake.
While listening to the album, Mark noticed a clear theme of light & dark
- or as the Rolling Stone Magazine reviewer wrote, it is an album of shimmering surfaces & glacial shadows. From a distance the music is pop-like, romantic & has many bright melodies. If you listen closely to the lyrics, you will notice dark, heavy, & sometimes sinister themes of obsession, jealousy, yearning & anxiety.
The term Synchronicity, Stings magnetic vocals & the theme of light & dark in the music were the main influences on Mark while making the wine. Synchronicity as a meaningful mix of seemingly unrelated events resulting in a significant sum lead Mark to a red wine blend of varieties not commonly seen together. The playful, seductive, & haunting union of Carignane, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache & Viognier make this wine a compelling & delicious study.
Aromas of fresh rose petals & wild berries. Flavours of juicy strawberry, bright raspberry, with a lush lingering finish. The Grenache & Viognier definitely lighten up the heavy hitters making this a delicious, approachable, & very food friendly wine.
