2021 Perihelios
In the first chapter of his famous work, The Zhuangzi, Chinese Taoist philosopher Zhuang Tzu describes a gigantic sea creature so vast in size that its body is an unknown number of miles long. In a passage entitled “The Carefree Excursion,” Zhuang chronicles the transformation of this sea creature, K’un, into an equally immense bird, Peng:
When it rouses itself and flies, its wings obscure the sky like clouds.
A symbol of incredible strength and magnitude, K’un represents Thomas’s wine, Perihelios.
This wine bursts with juicy, perfumed charm, featuring cassis, blue fruits, spring flowers, violets, and dark chocolate aromas. The palate is layered, full-bodied, and seamless, with ultra-fine tannins and a fantastic finish. A pure Napa Valley gem, ready to drink now or age for two decades.
