Winemaker’s Notes
This kick ass Rhone Blend stirs things up a little, probably not unlike the woman it is named. Soft entry and ripe fruit with acid and tannin to please  everyone. Who is the infamous Squirrel Tooth Alice? Legend has it that this party girl of the early West made being a cowboy truly “Legendary”. We felt it was necessary to pay tribute to one of the ladies that kept the  lonesome cowhands springing out on the ranch.
