Love this bottle design, and am wondering if anyone can id the typeface. Specifically, the one used on brand name (The Tentacle). Thanks in advance!

Well, good luck with that!

You will need to post an image that visibly shows the type.

I'm the owner of Eight Arms Cellars and made The Tentacle. Glad you like the label. Here is a review from The Rhone Report on how the wine tastes:
"Straight up delicious and a fantastic value, the 2008 Eight Arms Cellars Syrah The Tentacle has upfront, fruity aromas of freshly crushed berries, baking spices and dried flowers. Medium bodied with racy acidity, dusty tannin, and a supple, easy nature, this will be crowd pleaser over the next year or three."
Unfortunately it is sold out, but the 2009 vintage will be available in late spring.

Thanks all! I was out of town and have not been able to reply. I appreciate the help.
BTW, thanks again Michiel, that is it!
