Get a load of this mighty creation! Harvested from Peter’s Prairie Vineyard of
the Texas Hill Country AVA, this Barbera-based Rosé is spot on for a perfect
warm weather season pairing. Unfiltered and naturally hazy, it bursts with
bright acidity and enticing notes of cherry and strawberry, finished with a
playful touch of spice. Wow, right? Crisp, refreshing, and a satisfying
mouthfeel, there is nothing wrong with savoring this bad-ass beast for an
all-day Rosé indulgent. Cheers!
Couldn’t resist opening this 14-year-old Tempranillo to see
how it was holding up. Sourced from Newsom Vineyards of the Texas High Plains
AVA, it really benefits from about 90 minutes in the decanter. Clocking in at
14.5% ABV, the acidity is still going strong, and the plum and cherry notes are
still respectfully present. The color is starting to show a little age, but not
nearly as much as you might expect. There’s also a bit of smoke and spice after
that first sip, and the finish is oh so fine. This vintage still has plenty of
life left and is a real pleasure to drink. And the best part? There’s also a
reserve version from the same year to try later, so stay tuned. Santé!
This Mourvèdre is a fun one for any celebration. Made from
estate fruit of the future Hickory Sands AVA and clocking in at a respectable 14.8%
ABV, it brings plenty of satisfying flavor without going over the top. Notes of
rich cherries and plums are the first to wake up your wine senses followed by a
little nutmeg spice, and just enough dark chocolate to keep things interesting.
It is medium-bodied, smooth, and has just enough tannins for a delightful
finish. Basically, the kind of red wine you keep going back to. Cheers!
This Rioja blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano shows
off a light garnet hue with moderate red berry notes that are still intact
after nearly 16 years. On the palate, it offers a lively mouthfeel, medium
acidity, and a long, lingering finish, with subtle leather and earthy
undertones adding depth and structure. This wine is still drinking really well for
its age and could easily cellar for a few more years. For the best experience
of this mighty red beast, decant for about 90 minutes before serving. ¡Salud!
Sourced from One Way Vineyard in the Texas High Plains AVA,
this classic Rhône varietal is highly aromatic, opening with notes of lemon and
herbs to help wake up your wine sensory attention. Whether half full or half
empty, the Marsanne shows an appealing pale straw color against the sunlight
that’s quite eye appealing. For that first sip, it offers noticeable
minerality, medium acidity, and a subtle hint of oak that adds extra character.
Overall, it is a refreshing, easy-drinking wine that is especially enjoyable on
a warm day. Cheers!
This HWY 290 estate white wine of the Texas Hill Country
AVA, a blend of 77% Marsanne and 23% Roussanne, shows off a light golden hue
and opens with strong aromas of sage and papaya. Sip and swirl and relish those
additional notes of pear and jasmine that add a little bit of elegance to your
wine tasting session. You’ll definitely fall in love with its refreshing
character and notice that it has just the right acidity to help tantalize that
mouthwatering feel. The wine finishes with lingering tropical sensations,
making it a vibrant and satisfying white to enjoy. Santé!
This estate white wine blend of Viognier and Sémillon displays
a pale straw hue and will impress your wine senses with initial notes of tropical
sensations. It also offers rich notes of apricot and lemon with a satisfying
mouthfeel sensation. A subtle hint of vanilla lingers through the finish,
adding just enough character to round out this fresh, well-composed white.
Cheers!
