OLDE PLINY

Caius Plinius Secundus, is better known as Pliny the Elder. He was one of history's first renaissance men...an author, naturalist, naval commander and wine drinker. It was Pliny who coined the immortal term, In Vino Veritas, or 'in wine there is truth'. In 79 AD while wittnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Pliny was overcome by the toxic gases, and died.

This vinous tribute to Pliny the Elder is a blend of traditional Bordeaux varieties as complex as the man it honors.

The truth is inside.
