Some of Mason County’s best wines can be found in the “smallest” places. This red blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Tempranillo and 10% Barbera is simply outstanding. Sourced from Robert Clay Vineyards of the Texas Hill Country AVA, this bold wine has a great well-structured character. Surprisingly, it still seems young and that is a good thing. The fruit forward aromas reflect the quality in the very essence of Mason County grapes. On your palate, you will get a full mouthful of chocolate with blackberries. This wine has well balanced acidity which is a testament to the winemaker that knew what to do. Everything done to this wine truly highlights the greatest expression of the fruit and various varietals as they were blended. The moderate tannins and nice leathery finish are to die for too! Word on the grapevine has it that the vines used to make this wine are no longer around, which is a shame, because we sure wish we had more bottles. Keep those bottles on hand if you still have any in your cellar and let them age a bit longer for more long-lasting memories. Cheers!
