Alicante Bouschet; 1851 Vineyards; Fredericksburg, Texas


This is one of the first releases for 1851 Vineyards.  First impressions are everything and this Alicante Bouschet does not disappoint!  Sourced from St Jorge Vineyard of Alta Mesa AVA, the beautiful deep purple color is enticing and tantalizing. Inhale the fruit forward aromas and brace yourself for some beautiful flavors. It’s rich in chocolate, leather, and berries with a hint of spice and vanilla. This beautiful wine has a soothing long finish with a touch of tobacco on this full body red wine. It does improve over time, so after allowing this one to breathe for couple of hours everything improves!  Enjoy with what you wish but savor it in increments through the evening as it just keeps evolving. Cheers!
