CADUCEUS... Red Wine From The Desert

On Easter, I found a revolution in wine. Okay, maybe not a revolution, but an unknowing of Caduceus Cellars, a winery in the Verde Valley of Arizona, owned by Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer). I originally got this mention through my brother (Tragic Culture) out in Stockton California. He had attended a showing of Blood Into Wine, in Sacramento (or maybe it was the East Bay). Through his further interest into this, he had sent a bottle of the stuff to my upper familia, which we immoderately enjoyed. 
The end goal of the aforementioned is not only to highly recommend at least one trial purchase, or to comment on the taste, but moreover to showcase the logo, label and website of such a Maynard endeavor, which I thoroughly enjoy as a designer.
