Chansa Sangiovese – 2010; McPherson Cellars; Lubbock, Texas

This specialty label from McPherson Cellars is a treat to have, look at, and finally taste! We picked this bottle up during the grand opening of 4.0 Cellars. We were excited when offered the opportunity to sample it and then also purchase a bottle as well. Of course, we wanted the special bottle! Though technically a wine club exclusive bottle, if you ask with a Texas wine enthusiast’s smile sometimes good things will happen, and you may get that lucky break to take home something truly special and unique. Tasting this wine, will put an even bigger smile on your face. Age has made this semi-translucent wine an enjoyable experience.  Its luscious black licorice flavors married with a touch of pecan will have you giving this one a few swirls on the tongue. Surprisingly, the acids are still holding well, and the tannins are moderate.  A great one to keep cellared longer if you like or nice to share this lovely wine find with friends now. Cheers!
