Barn Red – NV; Saddlehorn Winery; Burton, Texas

Non-vintage…yes.  But thanks to classic tech (post-it notes), we know this bottle was purchased back in 2010.  This was one of the first releases for Saddlehorn Winery.  We were impressed back then when we tasted the wine in the winery and still impressed that this red wine blend cellared so nicely! It has held up quite well over the years, and we are happy to report it still has nice fruit flavor!  There was no information on what comprised the blend, but it did present notes of Syrah and Cabernet. This medium bodied wine is well balanced and will please most palates.  The one surprise is that there is a delayed finish…or maybe that’s just the senses playing catchup!  Tasting is one part of the enjoyment of this wine.  Do take a trip to Saddlehorn Winery when you are out there way.  You’ll be very welcomed there and may find a bottle or two for your own cellars!
