Coun-what? You could start with pronouncing it “Coon-wahz”
for starters, but once you get the hang of it, your attention will certainly be
focused on the wonderful delight this wine has to offer. This Rhône valley
grape is doing well in the Texas climate. Traditionally a blending grape, this
standalone Counoise will surprise you in many ways. Sourced from Farmhouse
Vineyards in the Texas High Plains, the ruby red translucence is such a
stunning beauty and an eye catcher. The bright red fruit on the nose is the
next pleaser that greets you. Flavors of cranberry and blueberry present
initially with that first sip followed by a slight smokiness. This well-balanced light to medium bodied red
wine is refreshing and soothing. This makes it a great option when you want a
red, but do not want a super heavy red wine. It pairs nicely with food and
light snacks, yet is quite enjoyable as a satisfying wind down sipper on its
own - a true delight for your wine soul. If you are unfamiliar with this
varietal, you now know where you can locate some in the future. Santé!
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.
