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.

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!
