This
dark hued red wine blend packs maximum depth and flavor. Sourced from the Texas
High Plains, the mixture of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Tannat, and 14% Petit
Verdot really embodies the “big and bold” in red wine blends. Chocolate will
certainly fill the air after the first pour.
It is relatively medium bodied and rewards your palate in blackberry and
cherry notes with a little bit of fig.
The tannins still hold firm, so be prepared for that grippy and
puckering finish. There is just a touch
of vanilla and a mild chalky sensation to round out the finish. Meat, cheese,
nuts and more will pair nicely with this big bold red blend. 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.
