Mourvèdre – 2015; William & Chris Vineyards; Hye, Texas

 William Chris Vineyards has certainly been a major driving force in bringing quality Mourvèdre to Texas and raising everyone’s awareness of this grape varietal. Through great partnerships with Texas growers farming this varietal to the unique winemaking methods of the winery, this red wine has certainly become a winner and fan favorite. It has the characteristics of a light to medium color that dazzles your eyes and aromas of fig, dates, and jam. This medium bodied masterpiece will fill your mouth with notes of raisins, cranberry, chocolate, and a bit of herbs. There is just a touch of earthiness to round things out on the palate. The acids are simply perfect for this red wine! The balanced tannins and long lingering finish just make you want to swirl and sip and repeat. We can see why William Chris has been a leader in putting this red grape varietal on the Texas wine drinkers’ map.  Cheers!
