Graciano - 2012; Alamosa Wine Cellars; Bend, Texas
This is a great successor to the 2010 vintage. It has a beautiful nose and is not too
dry. For the 2012 wine, you'll note
subtle peppery and smoky flavors along with hints of black cherries and a bit
of a cocoa to round out the flavor profile.
Mild on the tannins, you should be able to enjoy this one with a wide
variety of dishes. We especially love the bouquet and believe you could keep
inhaling and sipping this one until the
cows come home. Yes, it's one of those
"I can't get enough of" wines, yet there are sadly only so many
bottles available. Be sure to check out our 2010 Graciano posting. It's worth another 90+ score! This is one of those hidden treasures of Texas wines that you'll want to
seek out and stash away as the winery is for sale and the original wine maker
will be looking to officially retire. So drink well and enjoy what bottles you
have with friends! Extra Cheers!!
