What
is there not to like about Texas Mourvèdre?
William & Chris have certainly done a huge part at promoting this
grape in Texas, plus making some fine vintages. For this 2017 release, fruit
was sourced from Buena Suerte Vineyards of the Texas High Plains AVA. Clocking
in at 15.6% ABV, this light garnet colored red wine will fill the surrounding
air with notes of luscious blueberry and coffee notes with some cherry. It has a silky, smooth mouthfeel with some
lingering plum notes. Despite the
relatively high alcohol content, there is no “hot” sensation – credit that to
some good wine making. The enticing earthy undertones compliment your aroma and
palate sensations. It is almost medium on the tannins with some leather on the
finish. This is an excellent Mourvèdre
and a fantastic vintage year for Texas. Enjoy well!
