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!
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.
