I tasted the most incredible wine a few years ago and now I've forgotten the name but I have some clues

I tasted it at 's Purple Wine Bar in late 2015 in Bellevue. It was part of a set of wines meant to be 'super earthy', all with strong tones I associate with mud. Its name was a long single french word written across a (mostly?) blank white label

I would probably remember the word if I saw it. I think maybe it started with 'a' but I'm not sure. It tasted like I was eating mud and old leaves and it was fucking incredible

I bought a bottle to take home with me and took a picture of the label, but I moved away and my phone died and now I only have faint, delicious memories

i think these tweets are a cry for help to find this wine once more. Do wines stop existing? Are there wine lines that run out? I'm terrified to search because I don't want to find out it's disappeared from this world.

Internet Archive has a pdf of Purple's wine list from late 2014. Maybe it's on there?

Do you remember if it was French, American, or something else? All use french names. How much did the bottle cost? Can you remember the grape variety or exclude some varieties? If you used a credit card you might be able to find the transaction and ask the wine bar to look it up.
