Thieves On the Promenade – 2017; William & Chris Wines; Hye, Texas

This mystery red blend just might surprise you in more ways than one. As part of the winemaker series, you just never know what might be created based on inspiration or experimentation.  The 2017 vintage certainly contributed nicely to this delicious red wine blend. At first, you will notice that the color is quite opaque as you let it breathe for about an hour. This beauty needs some time to unfold and unpack all it has to offer. On the nose, this one has a lot of different fruit aromas to offer with plum, blackberry, and little bit of strawberry being the primary notes. The tannins and structure are quite strong for this very dry wine and the acids are on the high side, too. Given that it is also a heavy bodied wine, pick your favorite big bold red wine food pairing and feast away. It is worth your cellar room storage to save and sample again in a few years, as well. You’ll be very delighted with this lovely bottle and really liked the unique artwork as well. Cheers and well done!
