Mission Cabernet Sauvignon – 2007; Fall Creek Vineyards; Tow, Texas


The label designation, Mission San Antonio De Valero, gives reference to the original name of the Alamo in San Antonio.  It’s a reflection of the owner’s dedication to Texas and its history and it features a fantastic rendition of the Alamo on the label. The wine, for its age, has held up nicely. Spices, dark berries, and a bit of cedar are what still lingers in this dry red wine. This wine improves greatly over time as it begins to breathe, and we noted it was still lovely after a few hours. This medium bodied red has moderate tannins and a nice fine finish. A nice find in our wine cellar and happy to share that is has aged well. Cheers!
