(TDB) - A limited edition charity wine released by American rock bank Pearl Jam to help tackle homelessness in their home city of Seattle has sold out in just 15 minutes.

Launched to coincide with a US tour that includes the band’s first concerts in Seattle for five years, 450 four-bottle custom printed boxes of ‘Home x Away’ Syrah/Cabernet went on sale priced at $150.00 each, and sold out within 15 minutes of the news being announced on Pearl Jam’s email newsletter.

Featuring a label designed by the band depicting silhouette skylines of four cities on the band’s forthcoming tour: Seattle, Missoula, Chicago and Boston, the ‘Home x Away’ gift boxes were made in collaboration with the Underground Wine Project.

Spearheaded by Washington winemakers and diehard Pearl Jam fans Mark McNeilly of Mark Ryan Winery and Trey Busch of Sleight of Hand Cellars, ‘Home x Away’ 2015 is made predominantly of Syrah with a touch of Cabernet.

The grapes hail from the Red Mountain AVA in Washington State and the wine spent 22 months in mostly new French oak.

According to makers McNeilly and Busch, the inky purple wine is “incredibly dense and rich”, with “layers of ripe cherries and black plums, some tobacco, graphite and toasty mocha notes, fine grained tannins, and excellent length”.
