La Connection – 2017; French Connection Wines; Hye, Texas

Finally, we get to try out the last of their first releases. Yes, it is a 2017…a fabulous year for Texas wines!  This High Plains sourced fruit is a 50/50 blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Kind of a purple to garnet in color, this two year old French Oak aged wine has a lot to show for it. Some delightful floral notes unfold upon the initial pour.  There are rich dark fruit flavors along with some red apple notes. Revealing after the first sip or two is a great mouth feel as well as an elegant finish. The tannins are a bit softer, and the acids are about moderate for this jewel.  There is still a lot of love to share about this wine, but instead of going on and on, drink them if you got them! You will not be disappointed. Santé!
