Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA, this lovely wine
displays a touch of golden hue in the glass on that first pour to help set the
tone. It opens with floral and citrus notes, followed by hints of apple and
noticeable minerality. Excellent acidity keeps it lively, crisp, and
wonderfully refreshing. Santé!
Crafted from Bingham Family Vineyards fruit of the Texas
High Plains AVA, this Rosé wine received extended skin contact, lending the
wine a deeper, more expressive hue. The nose opens with wild strawberries,
layered with some citrus zest and a lovely floral lift. Vibrant acidity, a
refreshing clean feel, and subtle minerality, gives this one a happy smile all
day. Cheers!
Crafted in a Bordeaux white style, this wine blends 81%
Sauvignon Blanc with 19% Viognier sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA. A
touch of yellow hue in the glass is your first pleasant sight that leads into
an enticing floral aroma, followed by bright citrus and subtle minerality.
Light to medium bodied, the wine is easy drinking and well balanced, with a
soft, satisfying finish. Cheers!
When Cava is in the house, it’s time to rejoice! This lively
bubbly is a blend of 40% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeo, and 30% Parellada. It pours a
pale lemon color and brings fresh pear and apple notes, medium sized bubbles,
and a light, crisp feel. With a medium body feel, bright acidity, and a
refreshing finish, it’s an easy one to enjoy. ¡Salud!
So, how is this 15-year-old bottle of Texas red wine holding
up? Better than expected! Longtime Texas wine fans will remember 2011 as a
brutally hot, drought-stricken vintage with little relief in sight. Harvested
from Limestone Terrace Vineyard near Wimberley, Texas, this survivor now tastes
smoother than in earlier samplings, with cherry notes still hanging on. Most of
the fruit profile has mellowed out, but the wine still remains enjoyable. The
acidity feels less intense than before, and the color has changed only
modestly. You could still cellar it a bit longer, but drink it now if you want to
catch the remaining fruit flavors. Cin Cin!
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!
Ahh… for those who know this place, enjoying any wine from
the oldest winery in the Americas is always a special treat. This Rosé vintage
was crafted from Shiraz and pours a pale pink color. It opens with a gentle
floral touch before notes of berries, peaches, and strawberries come racing for
your wine senses. Medium acidity keeps it lively, while its refreshing style
makes each sip a savory fulfillment. You just won’t be able to get enough
satisfaction from this one. ¡Salud!
