Dirty & Rowdy New MSG Release

That label art. omg.
2016 CHALONE AVA MSG
MOURVÈDRE SYRAH GRENACHE
Tucked against the the western gates of Pinnacles National Park, the vineyards of the Chalone AVA vibrate with tones of calcareous rock and high desert chaparral.

Agreed!

Love.

Thanks guys! Marcus out did himself with this label for sure.

In addition to serving as the awesome bottle label for the wine (which I am certain is killer), Dirty & Rowdy is offering (as of November 18th) a T-shirt with the MSG design!

Full notes on the Dirty & Rowdy Mourvedre/Syrah/Grenache wine:

2016 Chalone MSG Mourvèdre Syrah Grenache

"Dusk at a roadside vista point, an airbrushed van adorned with barbarian kings & queens abruptly pulls in on the still hot blacktop. Aromatics of atomized rock, sage, sandalwood, and ancient wizards robes waft from the spectacular vehicle. The 8-track blasting the crunchy and tannic talk box solo of Peter Frampton’s ‘Do You Feel Like We Do?’

“Peeking through the window, you see two glowing creatures made of green light with great black eyes. They turn, look deeply into your soul, mouthing to the music, do you feel like we do? Alien giggling, they slowly flash a peace sign and press a button on the dash. Wings slide out from the sides before the van takes off dog star bound - - leaving you only a trail of limestone dust and a mental recipe for game birds drizzled with dark berried gastrique.”
