Mammoth – NV; Valley Mills Vineyard; Waco, Texas


First releases can be a hit or miss for some startup wineries.  Thankfully this wonderful red wine blend was not a miss! It’s a great treat to be able to pull a bottle from your cellar that was purchased when a winery first opened and see how the wine has changed over the years. This five-blend bottle has greatly improved with age.  It’s non-vintage, but our logs say we purchased this wine in 2011. It’s rich in flavor and has not lost anything over time and still retains a tantalizing rich color.  From smokiness to chocolate, the flavors are never ending for this full mouth feel red. This one is well-balanced with just a mild bite towards the end. It’s a cellar worthy red that we were quite surprised and delighted with when we uncorked the bottle and are pleased to report that is can still cellar for many years to come.  Salut!
