This Portuguese varietal has certainly
found a niche in Texas. Winemakers Doug and Duncan have crafted this Round
Mountain Vineyards sourced grape to yield a very refreshing bottle. Never mind
that it’s just 12.5% alcohol, because you’ll never notice. This
semi-translucent lovely purple hued beauty provides great floral aromas. Those
are followed by a touch of mandarin and cranberry on the palate and a very nice
mouth feel. The acids are still
maintaining well, and you’ll get a pleasant tannic finish. Though 2013 was certainly a challenge for
Texas vineyards with the late Spring freeze, this “survivor” makes a fine
impression. It has been aging well and should continue to do so for many years
to come. Cheers!
