"Le Cigare Volant is our rendition of a complex, blended Southern French red, named in honor of the cigar-shaped alien crafts banned from landing in the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape by decree of the village council in 1954. The composition of our Flying Cigar is based on the traditional encépagement of its Gallic analogue; the stellar 2007 vintage is composed of 60% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 4% Cinsault. Resistance is futile.
For the optimal tasting experience, we suggest a gentle decanting, allowing the wine to breathe prior to consumption. We aspire to produce wines in a more unaffected, hands-off style, with minimum winemaking intervention or manipulation. Equally we are committed to greater transparency. To this end, we append a list of ingredients used in the production of this wine. Randall Grahm
