Powerful and mysteriously fun, this wine rushes up from below in A Minor with an intriguing F# on top, to reveal a melody around A and B cascading down in octaves, before carrying its momentum back upward with a more relaxed A Minor Seven, coming to rest conclusively on A.
E Minor Seven, with G on the bottom, builds quickly from below to reveal a triumphant and rhythmic chordal melody mid-piano, outlining B Minor and D Major, while maintaining complexity and tension with G remaining below. A lower arpeggio darts back and forth, creating a spirited foundation. As its power diffuses, the signature topples into a comfortable lower revoicing of the melody on G Major Seven.
An expansive wine, interlocking fifths rooted by C and F expand outward from the center, almost like an orchestra tuning up, to support F Major rising quickly from below and revealing a jubilant melody in D Minor, cascading slowly back to rest in F Major. The F Major structure is then gently voiced again before settling fully into a long tail.
A huge wine with lots of low end energy, and consistent and inspiring high end sparkle. This wine accelerates into a high pedal of B Minor Seven while a B Minor arpeggio cascades downward in bursts, building power. B Minor 7 then blooms upward to reveal a more resolved D Major 7 falling lazily down to rest.
A rare wine, this Pinot Noir evokes the heart of a complete song, with melody, harmony, and rhythm. The jubilant yet emotional melody arises immediately, bouncing around A Minor Seven with a Suspended Four, while a counterpoint bass line quickly and rhythmically descends to complement the melody, detailing fifths of C, A, B, C, E, D, and C, clearly outlining an A Minor triad that is never explicitly heard. Thus, a wine with a pulse, a melody, and an intriguing secret never revealed.
Lush and beautiful, this wine swells powerfully from below with G Major Seven until it reveals a melody in G on top, with a pull toward B Minor Seven. Once revealed, this wine’s unique, joyful yet emotional melody repeats in octaves, returning back to the exact note where it started, demonstrating balance. A long tail carries on the entire sonic palate.
A complex wine with a serious story to tell, this sound signature begins in G Minor, with a bass formation curling around F Major before rushing upward in G Minor to reveal a melody falling from F, including a mysterious E, but supported by a stable and pastoral B Flat Major Seven, slowly collapsing through a lower reprise of the melody, to rest in B Flat Major.
