Barranca – 2016; Kuhlman Cellars; Stonewall, Texas

What is not to love about this wine from Kuhlman? This signature blend, crafted with Texas grapes, is still somewhat young, yet very enjoyable now. You will get a full-bodied wine experience from this mix of 27% Tempranillo, 25% Petite Sirah, 21% Mourvedre, 15% Carignan, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. With good balance and character, there should be no tastebud sensor left untouched during your sipping pleasure. Notes of cherries and dark fruit are prominent, but you should also discern underlying earthiness as well to round things out. The acids are about medium and there is just the right bit of lingering tannins to entice you for more. An absolute delight. Enjoy well!
