OVID Hexameter 2018

Hexameter is the poetic meter used by Ovid in his Metamorphoses and, for that matter, in much Greek and Roman epic poetry. The concept of meter intrigues one and all, as meter contains, animates and organizes the information contained in a poem’s words. Transposed to wine, the vineyard is the impulse behind a poem, and the wine is its meter and language. As such, the wine Hexameter reveals a certain rhythm and structure in their vineyard that articulates its clear and profound affinity for Cabernet Franc.
