This first release vintage from Torr Na
Lochs demonstrates the merits in the ability to age and still retain wonderful
qualities in Texas wines. Mourvedre and Carignan compliment this Tempranillo
blend by rounding it out and adding a richer depth and structure. Cherries and
leather with a touch of spice are what this five-year-old wine exhibits today.
It’s smooth with light tannins. The touch of spice might surprise you after the
first taste or two, but surprises are a good thing when you let a beautiful
wine like this sit a while. There are no signs of turning in this wine and it
could easily mature for a while longer. It is a fine example of why it is fun
to buy multiple bottles and try them over a few years to see how the wines
mature and evolve over time. Cheers!
