Rancher’s Reserve – NV; Rancho Ponte; Fredericksburg, Texas
It’s non-vintage, but
records show we got this back in 2011. Time has honored this Tempranillo blend
quite well. The red blend is a nod to Bordeaux style wine. Aging has only
enhanced the character of this well-balanced wine. The fruit notes were still there with a bit
of cherry and berry notes. Some licorice
lingers on the palate, as well. The
tannins have mellowed out for a smooth finish.
A touch of acidity does stand out, but it does not overpower. Rancho
Ponte is no longer open, so savor those last bottles. Enjoy!
