That
extra dry year for Texas has certainly made its mark on Texas wines. This 2011 estate vintage has mellowed out
quite nicely and is very drinkable right now. Even a dozen years later, there
are some good red fruit flavors on the nose. The color is a translucent purple,
little to no sediment, and the cork is very well intact. Blackberry and raspberry will dominate the
profile followed by a touch of vanilla.
The finish is much softer than earlier samples and the acids are holding
at about medium. It could probably still
linger in the cellar a few more years, but who can resist when it is tasting so
well. Cheers!
