It
has been a treat watching these estate vines mature since they were planted in
2014. It only adds to the anticipation
of sipping the wine from that labor of love. This 2017 red blend of 43%
Alicante Bouschet, 27% Tannat, 17% Touriga National, 13% Tinta Cao certainly
expresses the quality of the estate fruit and great winemaking skills of this
talented young team. Upon the first
pour, those bright fruit aromas are quite inviting along with a touch of black
pepper. After a sip or two, bright acids enveloped every aspect of your mouth
followed by cacao and spices. The blend is quite well balanced, and the lingering
finish is equally enticing. Step up and be bold, this is a rare jewel to behold
and enjoy. 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.
