Montepulciano – 2016; Ab Astris Winery; Stonewall, Texas

Oh, what a lovely red wine!  Sourced from Reddy Vineyards, this Texas High Plains Montepulciano is very well balanced and quite enjoyable right now.   On the initial pour, you will see a nice cherry tint to the color followed by some notes of coffee on the nose. This medium bodied jewel will surprise you with rich raspberries and a touch of vanilla as you savor that first sip. The acids are just right, and the tannins are on the moderate side. We paired ours with a hearty meaty pasta dish and it was quite enjoyable. Salute!
