Blessings
are upon us for one of the first releases of Wedding Oak! You’ll notice their first name, San Saba, on
the label before the name change. Same winery and great wines, just the name
changed. With fruit sourced from the
Texas High plains AVA, this red wine is a blend of 60% Tempranillo, 20%
Mourvèdre, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. There is some browning in the color of
this 12-year-old Texas wine, but most of its profile is holding up well. You can still discern some good blackberry
and cherry notes along with a bit of leather. The acids are moderate and there
is a lingering tobacco note. Not bad for an “old” Texas wine. It still paired well with a meaty dish. Lovely
bottle to enjoy and happy for the success that Wedding Oak has had over the years.
Cheers!
