Alicante Bouschet – 2016; Slate Mill Wine Collective; Fredericksburg, Texas

This Texas sourced Alicante Bouschet from Lahey Vineyards is another testament to how certain grape varietals are finding a new home in the state of Texas. This Texas High Plains fruit produces a nice big bold red wine lovers’ wine, with very pleasing fruit forward notes. As you sip this wine, you will note that this has a fine body packed with great strawberry and leather flavors with a hint of dark chocolate.   This dry red has a clean finish and just enough tannins to linger on the tongue for a bit.  A well-crafted Alicante Bouschet!  Cheers!
