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.

White Merlot – 2010; Westcave Cellars; Round Mountain, Texas
What a jewel to still have
and enjoy! This lovely merlot wine is what a good mouth feel is all
about. Despite its age, it still packs beautiful full fruit
flavors. The aromas are quite delightful with notes of bright cherries.
It’s slightly sweet and could substitute just fine for any dry white wine
pairing. It’s been preserved well and could go on for another year or
two. Westcave Cellars still makes White Merlots, so it will be an
interesting comparison to try newer vintages. It is worth scouting out a bottle
or two to enjoy, especially in this early spring, warm spell we’re seeing in
Texas right now. Enjoy well!
