Ex-Bottlerocker Marty always brought cool stuff to the table. So when he showed up at a team tasting with the Corvidae (the family of birds that includes ravens and crows) Syrah Lenore (yes, Poe's Lenore), we were immediately intrigued. A tine in the umbrella of David O'Reilly's Owen Roe mini-empire, this Lenore is not a "rare and radiant maiden", but a full-fruited crowd pleaser. Kind of like Marty, but minus the fruit.
