Behold…a
Texas Cab at its best! Not just because of the magic work that winemaker Ben
Calais does, but also having this fruit sourced from the Texas Davis Mountains
AVA is a big plus. As one of the highest elevation areas in Texas, this middle
of nowhere location can certainly be a prime location to grow quality grapes in
Texas…minus the ongoing threat of hail and lightning. This Cabernet Sauvignon
was sourced from Blue Mountain Trail Vineyard. Aged in French oak for 30
months, the full-bodied nature of this wine is something to be cherished and
thoroughly enjoyed with every sip. Just
the sound of pouring this wine is a sensory sensation in of itself. Relish
those aromas of black cherries and blackberry as you prepare for that initial sip.
Blueberry and cocoa will dance around
your palate enticing you back for more. The incredible balance of acids and
tannins makes this a great pairing with many different foods. This bottle may still be relatively young, so
we will certainly give this one a try in a few years. Well done Calais Winery. Santé!
