Mark
this one down as another shining star of Texas 2017 vintage. Sourced from Lost
Draw Vineyards, this red wine just might mark the high point of Mourvèdre from
William Chris Vineyards. Ironically, it looks like a Zinfandel when pouring but
don’t let that fool you. The aromas of big black cherries and blackberries really
come out to greet you with this beast. Flavors of plums and raspberries also fill
your mouth full of joy for this light bodied red wine. There is a bit of leather
and smokiness to it, as well. This
release should make a Mourvèdre lover out of you if you have not already jumped
on that bandwagon. 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.
