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.

Super Texan Reserve - 2012; Flat Creek Estate; Marble Falls, Texas
Wine lovers....behold!
The premier Super Texan brand has arrived. Selected from just 5% of barrels, only the
best of the best have been put into this wine.
The varietal breakdown is 40% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14%
Zinfandel, 6% Tempranillo. And what a
magnificent blend it is! The aromas and flavors just speak for themselves. Inhale and enjoy the cherry and plum aromas
that greet you. Intense blackberry flavors dance across your palate promptly followed by
a fine smoky finish in this dry red. There's just of touch of earthiness to add to the
sipping experience of this superbly complex wine. The medium tannins are well
suited for a nice fatty Italian dish.
Yet, in all its greatness, this wine is only at the beginning of its maturity. Buy many and enjoy over 10+ years. You'll have a happy cellar and a guaranteed
happy wine pairing experience for the next decade. Enjoy well!
