This
is a rock solid Tannat for your enjoyment! The deep purple color is enticing
just to gaze at, but those blueberry aromas from this Texas High Plains sourced
fruit are a simple pleasure at its best. If you let this one sit for a good hour
or so, then patience will reward you. The rich dark fruit and cherry flavors
really unfold and develop. The acids balance out nicely and there is just a
touch of spiciness to this beauty. With medium tannins and a nice long velvety finish,
life is getting darned good at this point. Although drinking well right now,
there is still much to reveal by holding on to this one for a few more years
and trying again later. Cheers!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
