With
a mix of fruit from the Texas High Plains and Hill Country, the best of both
AVAs comes alive in this reserve Cabernet. This wine also includes just a bit
of Cabernet Franc and Tannat in this French aged oak jewel. Black cherries and leather are on the nose
followed by some white pepper. The vanilla and hints of coffee certainly
delight the palate with firm tannins rounding out the flavor profile. The acids are holding at a strong moderate,
as well. Mark this one as another
fantastic renowned 2017 Texas vintage and a great compliment to their 25th
anniversary. You can probably still hold
for a few more years for added enjoyment. Cheer!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
