5 Blend – 2017; Sister Creek Vineyards; Sisterdale, Texas

These red blends from Sister Creek have always been a great reliable and consistent wine to drink. Add the great 2017 vintage year to this bottle and you have a masterpiece!  This 2017 Vintner’s Collection series is a Bordeaux Meritage-style wine of Cabernet Sauvignon 59%, Petit Verdot 18%, Merlot 9%, Syrah 9%, and Malbec 5%.  The deep red color pour and fruit forward aromas are quite a delight.  You will get some blackberry notes on the nose followed by some delightful plums.  The flavors of cranberry and cherry join in the tasting mélange in each sip. This red wine blend has some great complexity and with just the right level of acids to round things out.  You will be pleased with the spot-on tannins along with a nice long finish.  This truly is a great wine to have, so pair your best dish!  Cheers!
