Aglianico – 2012; Perissos Vineyards & Winery; Burnet, Texas

Heaven in a bottle…what could be more pleasing?  This seven-year-old wine sourced from the Perissos estate grown fruit in the Texas Hill Country AVA is maturing quite nicely. It still packs some great flavors of plums, ripe black fruit, lilac and a touch of leather. The acids on this medium bodied wine do a nice light dance around your palate. The savory tannins are long lasting and linger nicely on the finish. A few hours after you open this bottle, we found it easy to still be enjoying this wine! Enjoying a bottle left our souls and bodies feeling quite refreshed and spectacularly happy to have one of our favorite varietals age so nicely in the cellar. Do we have any more? Well yes, however we believe great wine like this deserves to be spread out over many years.  We look forward to enjoying another one in years to come. Enjoy!
