NAPA VALLEY

AntithesiS… Latin for the exact opposite… this wine is the antithesis of an ordinary wine. My dedication to the quality level of this wine coupled with the timing of specific fermentations and unique fermentation techniques are crucial elements required for the production of Antithesis. With that said, there will be years when Antithesis is not produced therefore further limiting its availability and increasing its level of rare collectability. This is NOT classically produced wine! It is a result of a technique which I coined “reverse saigner” as its juice was not only bled before fermentation to increase the skin to juice ratio, but additional skins were added toward the end of fermentation to further increase the skin to juice ratio thus creating a very lush, round, extracted, and structured wine.

Only 75 cases are produced annually.

And if you want a behind the scenes (and more candid) visual explanation on how this is made…

In the philosophical and enigmatic style of Morpheus from “The Matrix”:

Be sure to read this with the voice of Morpheus in your head…

“Neo, understanding this wine, the AntithesiS, is akin to understanding the Matrix itself. Consider its composition: 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like the Matrix, it’s a blend of elements, each essential, yet it’s the combination that creates something far more complex and profound.

The swirling to release its aromas – warm red and black plums, Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, intertwined with violets, incense, dark chocolate, licorice, tar, and an earthy essence of crushed rocks – this mirrors the process of awakening, Neo. It’s about stirring the mind, allowing it to open up and perceive the deeper layers of reality.

The palate of this wine, full-bodied and bursting with bright, lifted black and red berry preserves flavors, accompanied by a lively line of freshness and exquisitely ripe, velvety tannins, finishing with epic length and profound perfume – this represents the vibrancy and complexity of the Matrix. It shows how, beneath the surface, there is a world teeming with life, energy, and hidden depths.

And the winemaker, Jason Moore – described as a ‘mad genius’ – isn’t he reminiscent of the architects of the Matrix? His method, once seen as ‘edgy’ and cryptic, now reveals a harmonious and mind-blowing purpose. It’s similar to how we perceive the Matrix. Initially, it appears chaotic and nonsensical, but once you understand it, you see the incredible order and purpose behind it.

Neo, just as appreciating the nuances of this wine can be transformative, understanding the Matrix can change your perception of everything. It’s about seeing the method in the madness, recognizing the intricate balance and depth in what appears to be a simple reality. This wine, like the Matrix, is a lesson in complexity, perception, and the beauty of the underlying truth. Embrace it, and you begin to understand the vastness of what’s truly possible.”

I wanted to post the winemaker Jason Moore’s note because saying this is a Merlot doesn’t really do it Justice. Sitting on my 3 bottles for a bit. From Jason Moore; Long story short, Antithesis is a Merlot that ferments on Petite Sirah skins.... Petite Sirah is crushed to tank and we do a 14 days on skins... 10 day cold soak on skins, 4 days of fermenting on skins... 14 days total On day 14 while the PS is still fermenting, we drain the tank and that fermenting wine finishes fermentation in barrel without the skins (they stay in the tank) On that same day, the Merlot is harvested and crushed into the same tank which still has the PS skins... so now we have a 2/1 skin to juice ratio... equal parts 1 part PS skins, 1 part Merlot skins, 1 part Merlot juice So as you can see the potential for concentration is MASSIVE and I feel that you get the color, structure, and spice from the PS skins... then the Merlot comes in and wraps itself around all that power from the PS and smooths it all out, creating a truly unique experience with the wine. I do not call it a Merlot because it doesn't really taste like a Merlot... most people guess Cabernet!

Encyclopedia of psychology

Antithesis is a literary and rhetorical device used to express contrasting ideas. It is typically used to express two opposing ideas in a balanced way. Antithesis is the use of contrasting ideas in balanced phrases to highlight the contrast between them (Khan, 2018). Antithesis can be used to emphasize a point, to create a powerful image, or to create a vivid contrast between two ideas (Nordquist, 2019).

The most common use of antithesis is to create a balanced comparison between two ideas. It is often used to make a point or to illustrate a contrast. For example, a speaker might say, “We must learn from the mistakes of the past, lest we repeat them in the future.” This statement is an example of antithesis because it highlights the contrast between learning from the past and repeating mistakes in the future.

In addition to creating a balanced comparison, antithesis can also be used to create a powerful image. For example, a speaker might say, “We must stand together, or we will fall apart.” This statement is an example of antithesis because it highlights the power of unity by contrasting it with the danger of division.

Antithesis can also be used to create a vivid contrast between two ideas. For example, a speaker might say, “Life is full of light and darkness.” This statement is an example of antithesis because it contrasts the brightness of life with the darkness that can sometimes accompany it.

Antithesis is a powerful tool for writers and speakers, as it allows them to express contrasting ideas in a balanced and effective way. By using antithesis, they can create vivid images, emphasize points, and illustrate contrasts.

Definition of Antithesis

Antithesis is a literary device that refers to the juxtaposition of two opposing elements through the parallel grammatical structure. The word antithesis, meaning absolute opposite, is derived from Greek for “ setting opposite,” indicating when something or someone is in direct contrast or the obverse of another thing or person.

Antithesis is an effective literary and rhetorical device , as it pairs exact opposite or contrasting ideas by utilizing the parallel grammatical structure. This helps readers and audience members define concepts through contrast and develop an understanding of something through defining its opposite. In addition, through the use of parallelism , antithesis establishes a repetitive structure that makes for rhythmic writing and lyrical speech.

For example, Alexander Pope states in  An Essay on Criticism , “ To err is human ; to forgive divine.” Pope’s use of antithesis reflects the impact of this figure of speech in writing, as it creates a clear, memorable, and lyrical effect for the reader. In addition, Pope sets human error in contrast to divine forgiveness, allowing readers to understand that it is natural for people to make mistakes, and therefore worthy for others to absolve them when they do.

Examples of Antithesis in Everyday Speech

Antithesis is often used in everyday speech as a means of conveying opposing ideas in a concise and expressive way. Since antithesis is intended to be a figure of speech, such statements are not meant to be understood in a literal manner. Here are some examples of antithesis used in everyday speech:

  • Go big or go home.
  • Spicy food is heaven on the tongue but hell in the tummy.
  • Those who can, do; those who can’t do, teach.
  • Get busy living or get busy dying.
  • Speech is silver but silence is gold.
  • No pain, no gain.
  • It’s not a show, friends; it’s show business.
  • No guts, no glory.
  • A moment on the lips; a lifetime on the hips.
  • If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.

Common Examples of Antithesis from Famous Speeches

Antithesis can be an effective rhetorical device in terms of calling attention to drastic differences between opposing ideas and concepts. By highlighting the contrast side-by-side with the exact same structure, the speaker is able to impact an audience in a memorable and significant way. Here are some common examples of antithesis from famous speeches:

  • “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character .” (Martin Luther King, Jr. “I Have a Dream”)
  • “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” (Abraham Lincoln “The Gettysburg Address”)
  • “‘Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.'” (Edward Kennedy quoting Robert F. Kennedy during eulogy )
  • “We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change.” (John F. Kennedy “Presidential Inaugural Speech”)
  • “You see, for any champion to succeed, he must have a team — a very incredible, special team; people that he can depend on, count on, and rely upon through everything — the highs and lows, the wins and losses, the victories and failures, and even the joys and heartaches that happen both on and off the court.” (Michael Chang “ Induction Speech for Tennis Hall of Fame”)

Examples of Proverbs Featuring Antithesis

Proverbs are simple and often traditional sayings that express insight into truths that are perceived, based on common sense or experience. These sayings are typically intended to be metaphorical and therefore rely on figures of speech such as antithesis. Proverbs that utilize antithetical parallelism feature an antithesis to bring together opposing ideas in defined contrast. Therefore, antithesis is effective as a literary device in proverbs by allowing the reader to consider one idea and then it’s opposite. It also makes for lyrical and easily remembered sayings.

Here are some examples of proverbs featuring antithesis:

  • Cleanliness is next to godliness.
  • Beggars can’t be choosers.
  • Easy come, easy go.
  • Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
  • Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.
  • Like father, like son.
  • Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
  • An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.
  • Be slow in choosing, but slower in changing.
  • Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.
  • If you can’t beat them, join them.
  • Keep your mouth closed and your eyes open.
  • One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
  • Out of sight, out of mind.
  • Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Utilizing Antithesis in Writing

As a literary device, antithesis allows authors to add contrast to their writing. This is effective in terms of comparing two contrasting ideas, such as a character’s conflicting emotions or a setting’s opposing elements. In literature, antithesis doesn’t require a pairing of exact opposites, but rather concepts that are different and distinct. In addition, since antithesis creates a lyrical quality to writing through parallel structure , the rhythm of phrasing and wording should be as similar as possible. Like most literary and rhetorical devices, overuse of antithesis will create confusion or invoke boredom in a reader as well as make the writing seem forced.

Antithesis and Parallelism

Both terms demonstrate a fundamental difference. An antithesis comprises two contradictory ideas and parallelism does not necessarily comprise opposite ideas or persons. It could have more than two ideas or persons. As the name suggests that parallelism is a condition where is an antithesis is an opposition. For example, man proposes, God disposes, has two contradictory ideas. However, it is also a parallel sentence . Furthermore, parallelism occurs mostly in structure and less in ideas. Even similar ideas could occur in parallelism, while an antithesis has only dissimilar ideas.

Antithesis and Juxtaposition

As far as juxtaposition is concerned, it means placing two ideas together that are dissimilar. They need not be opposite to each other. In the case of antithesis, they must be opposite to each other as in the case of man proposes, God disposes. Not only these two ideas are dissimilar, but also they are opposite. In the case of juxtaposition, a poet only puts two ideas together and they are not opposed to each other.

Use of Antithesis in Sentences  

  • As soon he dies, he becomes a dead living.
  • Most people do not understand the value of money when the poor put money ahead of them.
  • Some people make money, while some waste it.
  • Although they have gone leaps ahead, they have also stepped back just in the nick of time.
  • The public comes forward when there is prosperity and moves back when there is adversity.

Examples of Antithesis in Literature

Antithesis is an effective literary device and figure of speech in which a writer intentionally juxtaposes two contrasting ideas or entities. Antithesis is typically achieved through parallel structure, in which opposing concepts or elements are paired in adjacent phrases , clauses , or sentences. This draws the reader’s attention to the significance or importance of the agents being contrasted, thereby adding a memorable and meaningful quality to the literary work.

Here are some examples of antithesis in well-known works of literature:

Example 1:  Hamlet (William Shakespeare)

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice ; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.

In Shakespeare’s well-known play , he utilizes antithesis as a literary device for Polonius to deliver fatherly advice to his son before Laertes leaves for France. In these lines, Polonius pairs contrasting ideas such as listening and speaking using parallel structure. This adds a lyrical element to the wording, in addition to having a memorable and foreboding impact on the characters and audience members with the meaning of each line.

Despite the attempt by Polonius to impart logical thinking, measured response, and wise counsel to his son through antithesis, Laertes becomes so fixated on avenging his father’s death that his actions are impulsive and imprudent. Polonius’s antithetical words are not heeded by his son, resulting in the death of several characters including Hamlet and Laertes himself.

Example 2:  Paradise Lost  (John Milton)

Here at least We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

In Milton’s epic poem , he explores the Fall of Satan as well as the temptation and subsequent Fall of Man. This passage is spoken by Satan after he has been condemned to Hell by God for attempting to assume power and authority in Heaven. Satan is unrepentant of his actions, and wants to persuade his followers that Hell is preferable to Heaven.

Satan utilizes antithesis in the last line of this passage to encourage his rebellious followers to understand that, in Hell, they are free and rule their own destiny. In this line, Milton contrasts not just the ideas of Hell and Heaven, but also of reign and servitude as concepts applied to the angels , respectively. Pairing these opposites by using this literary device has two effects for the reader. First, Satan’s claim foreshadows his ability to use his words describing independence to tempt Eve, resulting in her and Adam’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Second, this antithesis invites the reader to consider Satan’s thought-process and experience to gain a deeper understanding of his motives in the poem.

Example 3:  Fire and Ice  (Robert Frost)

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

In his poem, Frost utilizes antithesis to contrast fire and ice as elements with devastating and catastrophic potential to end the world. Frost effectively demonstrates the equal powers for the destruction of these elements, despite showcasing them as opposing forces. In this case, the poet’s antithesis has a literal as well as figurative interpretation. As the poem indicates, the world could literally end in the fire as well as ice. However, fire and ice are contrasting symbols in the poem as well. Fire represents “desire,” most likely in the form of greed, the corruption of power, domination, and control. Conversely, ice represents “hate” in the form of prejudice, oppression, neglect, and isolation.

The presence of antithesis in the poem is effective for readers in that it evokes contrasting and powerful imagery of fire and ice as opposing yet physically destructive forces. In addition, the human characteristics associated with fire and ice, and what they represent as psychologically and socially destructive symbols, impact the reader in a powerful and memorable way as well. Antithesis elevates for the reader the understanding that the source of the end of the world may not be natural causes but rather human action or behavior; and that the end of the world may not be simply the destruction of the earth, but rather the destruction of humankind.

Example 4: The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives so that nation might live.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

These three examples from the address of Abraham Lincoln show the use of contradictory ideas put together in one sentence. They show how he mentions living and dead putting them side by side. This antithesis has helped Lincoln as well as America to come out of the ravages of the Civil War.

Function of Antithesis

An antithesis helps make an idea distinct and prominent when it contradicts another idea in the first part of the argument . This contrastive feature helps make readers make their argument solid, cogent, and eloquent. Sentences comprising anthesis also become easy to remember, quote, and recall when required. When an antithesis occurs in a text, it creates an argumentative atmosphere where a dialectic could take place and helps writers and speakers hook their audience easily with antithetical statements.

Synonyms of Antithesis

Antithesis has no exact synonyms but several words come closer in meanings such as opposite, reverse, converse, reversal, inverse, extreme, another side of the coin, or flip side or contrast.

FoundationDB team’s new venture, Antithesis, raises $47M to enhance software testing

antithesis 2018

by Duncan Riley

Software testing startup Antithesis Operations LLC today announced that it has raised $47 million in new funding to develop its software testing and debugging platform further and accelerate its go-to-market strategy.

Founded in 2018 by the team behind FoundationDB, a distributed database acquired by Apple in 2015 that now underpins Apple’s cloud infrastructure, the idea behind Antithesis was the belief that the most sophisticated organizations lacked the kind of deterministic software testing built into the database sold to Apple.

Antithesis says it has taken the rigorous testing approach of FoundationDB, matured it and after years of operating in stealth, it claims it’s the only commercially available system of its kind for general software testing.

The company argues that current software testing relies on developers manually writing their own tests, a time-consuming process that can only find bugs in execution paths anticipated ahead of time, meaning that bugs on unanticipated paths are missed.

Antithesis differs in that the platform continuously scans the newest software version under development for bugs inside a separate simulated environment and can perfectly reproduce and provide powerful debugging information for every bug it finds. Doing so allows software engineers to develop knowing any bugs will be found quickly and reported by Antithesis before they impact users, improving overall productivity and software quality.

“Our goal is to increase the reliability of software systems in the most efficient way so that the organizations we partner with can focus on growth and innovation rather than wasting valuable time and energy on testing and debugging,” co-founder and Chief Executive Will Wilson said in a statement .

Though launching only today, the company already has an impressive lineup of customers, including MongoDB Inc., Palantir Technologies Inc. and the Ethereum Foundation.

The $47 million “seed round” — if so, it would be one of the biggest seed rounds on record  — was led by Amplify Partners LLC, Tamarack Global Technologies Inc. and First In Ventures LLC.

“Antithesis’ model of autonomous testing will be especially important as we increasingly rely on AI and LLM tools for code generation,” said Lenny Pruss, general partner at Amplify Partners. “There are endless possibilities, and we’re excited to be partnering with a company working on such cutting-edge technology.”
