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 – 2010: Flat Creek Estate; Marble Falls, Texas
Who says Texas Sangiovese
wines can’t age? Given good fruit and a good winemaker, great things can
happen. Let’s also not forget a good cork to keep the wine well
protected. It’s always a pleasure to pour an aged red and see that little
has changed for this ruby red wine. The fruit has lost some of its bright berry
notes, yet still presents both cherry and plum making this still a very
enjoyable wine. The tannins are notable, but are softening up a bit,
however, there is still a decent finish. There is sufficient acid to help
compliment your favorite Italian dishes. Anyone else still have a few
bottles? No problem! Keep them well cellared and try one in couple
of years and compare. We think you will be equally impressed with this one.
Enjoy!
