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!
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.
