Buffalo Roam - 2011; Brennan Vineyards; Comanche, Texas


This take on Rhone style wine is quite stunning!  It is a very smooth drinking Syrah blend.  You'll sense floral aromas at the onset followed by sweet fruit notes prior to the first sip. Your mouth will be awash with flavors of leather and a touch of spice in a soft melding of fruit.  It really shines after about half an hour of being opened for this medium bodied red wine. It is an exceptional blend that highlights the velvety smooth  and soft lasting finish that beautiful fruit can yield. No doubt 2011, was a record breaking drought year for Texas grape growers.  Yet, the fruit that was yielded has demonstrated just how fabulous the Texas terroir can be for really deep, ripe and rich fruit complexities when put to the test.  Enjoy this wine with sliced summer sausages and cheese, or a savory dish. It is also absolutely fabulous on its own. Enjoy!
