When you hear Texas Tempranillio, you know you
are getting something great. When you
hear Parr Vineyards Tempranillio, then you have hit a high mark! Lewis Wines has taken this great vineyard
fruit and turned it into a fantastic red wine. Little color change was noticed
in just seven years, but even when pouring this beauty there was sheer joy in
taking in that initial inhale with the great aromas of prunes with a touch of
smokiness. Do let this one sit for an hour or two as it opens and evolves…aka “calm
down.” The first sip or two is an eye
opener - bright acids followed by cranberry and plums. The added blackberry notes are a plus. Still
tannic for sure, but you know the right food pairing will really enhance this
wine and bring out its full potential. The dry lingering finish is quite nice, but
that just means you get to sip and try the sensational experience all over
again. Still worthy of cellaring longer.
Enjoy well!
