Aglianico – 2012; Duchman Family Winery; Driftwood, Texas
Oh man, yes this wine is
that good! Take that initial gaze into that vibrant ruby color.
Spiced berries, cigars, and floral notes will be there to great your first sip.
After the first few sips, you’ll pick up flavors of cherry, strawberry, and
elegant spices. It has a light body at first, but really develops more
moderate density after being opened. It’s about medium acidity, so it
should pair well with many fine foods. With a nice structure and
well-rounded feel, you’ll savor those lasting moments of a fantastic
finish! Yes, the pronunciation can be a challenge, but it shouldn’t deter
you from trying this varietal or this wine. It is very aromatic and flavorful
with sufficient body and soft tannins to satisfy those who love a good rich red
wine. It is a worthy successor to the 2011 vintage. Enjoy well!
