This historic first release blends 64.5% Texas Merlot with
35.5% New Mexico Tempranillo and shows impressive aging after 17 years. The
wine opens with notes of blueberry and blackberry, followed by some plum and a
touch of spice. The depth and character of this wine on the palate after all
these years is quite impressive. Overall, it stands as a well-aged, memorable
bottling that continues to show its quality over time. Cheers!
Harvested from Uruguay’s Canelones wine region, this
dry-farmed Tannat is a very well-crafted wine. Displaying a deep garnet in
color, it opens with aromas of enticing black fruit. The palate is rich and
generous, with a creamy texture, ripe raspberry notes, medium tannins, and a
touch of heat. The detailed technical notes on the back label are a welcome
bonus. This bold red still has several years of life ahead, so cellar it now
and revisit it down the road. ¡Salud!
This classic Kuhlman wine is aging beautifully. It is a
blend of 54% Malbec and 46% Petite Sirah from Dry Creek Valley AVA, and still
shows a dark, rich red color that remains remarkably intact after nearly a
decade. Notes of chocolate, dark fruit, and black pepper are still noticeable
at first followed by some smoke. Meanwhile, the tannins balance out quite
nicely and carry through to a nice long, smooth finish. Cheers!
