Gravitas – 2017; Calais Winery; Hye, Texas

A blend from some of the serious grape varietals of 2017, this nearly 5-year old beauty is one to enjoy with quality people and food.  With an almost opaque color, the fruit forwardness is very transparent with rich blackberries and a hint of cigar. Let it sit for about an hour and relish the aromas filling the glass before that initial sip. The flavor packs some good dark chocolate and a little bit of spice here and there. The acids are moderate, and the tannins are still firm, but not overpowering. Sitting around for five years, it is drinking quite well now. Hold if you wish, but do not miss out on this jewel right now if you can spare an extra bottle. Worthy of enjoyment today. Santé!
