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.

Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Reserve – 2010; Becker Vineyards; Fredericksburg, Texas
This 60/40 Cab-Syrah blend
from Becker Vineyards is still drinking very nicely. It is heavy on the chocolate notes with a
touch of black dry fruit. The firm tannins are holding up quite well. The wine is smooth and has a touch of spice
with a defined leathery finish. One can
still denote a nice earthiness to this lovely wine as well. This bottle still
has the potential to lay down for several years so if you have any left in your
cellar, don’t feel the rush to get rid of them all just yet. Keep some to enjoy again in the 2020’s! Cheers!!
