Crafted from estate-grown fruit of the Texas Hill Country
AVA, this wine pours a deep straw color and opens with inviting notes of
lemongrass, peach, apricot, and a touch of melon. Medium acidity gives the wine
a lively poise, while its spot-on mid-palate feel adds to a satisfying feel. A
distinct minerality reflects the vineyard’s character, carrying through to a
very satisfying finish. Cheers!
Wine Of The Moment
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
