2013…ugh! A very late spring frost in Texas did not
bring high hopes for that year’s crop, but what did come through was some
excellent fruit. This Texas High Plains
sourced Mourvèdre from Lost Draw Vineyards is not only aging well but drinking nicely
right now. The color of the pour is a
light red hue, and you will immediately discern a lovely cherry bouquet with a
bit of pepper. Savor that first sip and
brace yourself for some big plum flavors mingled with a bit of cranberry. There is a slight silky texture to it
followed by a lingering long finish. You
could probably cellar this vintage a couple more years or so, but why wait when
it is tasting so great now? Plus, your barbeque is begging for this pairing.
Cheers!
