Ignis – 2017; Kuhlman Cellars; Stonewall, Texas

Clocking in at 15.5% abv, this extra special vintage has everything that you have always wanted in a Texas red wine blend. Named for the Texas High Plains caliche "fire rocks", this Newsom Vineyards fruit will envelope your nose with bright and refreshing aromas. Given its moderate color and A to Z mouthfeel, there is not a single tastebud that won’t be pleased with each subsequent sip as notes of ripe dates and a bit of allspice entice your palate. This smooth silky red wine has a nice long-lasting finish, as well. This exceptional blend of 47% Tempranillo, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Malbec is literally a one of a kind from Kuhlman that should be savored for this inaugural and sole vintage produced to date. The Kuhlman philosophy is to not produce it until they have the superior fruit that will express this blend well for that vintage.  The caliber of this award-winning blend will leave you wanting more of this beautiful jewel. We are hoping mother nature cooperates soon, to allow a second vintage to be crafted and enjoyed. Until then, we wait in eager anticipation. Santé!
