Thanks,

Michelle B., oh, I’m so glad I responded then. You’re in for a treat when you open it (see above, all those promising jasmine buds…)

Definitely an attempt to decode-thanks! Currently have said wine in cellar, was waiting a bit to open. Love Twisted Oaks! Jeff and Twisted crew are great. Happy to have known them for the last four years and said blog was where I found yours. Will be sure to spread the wealth.

Michelle, do you mean I should have been more obscure, or that that’s what you got from the image? If you got that from the image, that’s pretty on the money. And, I don’t think the goal here is to be obscure–it’s to suggest the essence of a wine with an image. (Besides, it was by no means easy to find jasmine in exactly that state–)

Just not sure if the comment was a criticism, complaint, observation, or attempt to decode. If the last: you got it!

Maybe too obvious-a tight sharp red amid openly, luscious, minute splatter of flowery white-how say you?
