Made
from some “ancient” Texas vines from Newsom Vineyards of the Texas High Plains
AVA, this 46-month aged Tempranillo is more than worth the wait. It bleeds or rather pours a deep blood red
color, and you can almost instantly smell the aromas of blackberry and dark
plum with a little tobacco on the nose. You will probably want to decant for
two hours for optimal experience, but after waiting this long that’s a blink of
an eye. Those deep fruit flavors are something to savor! As you relish the
mouthfeel and notes, you may discern a little nutmeg on the finish for this
full-bodied beast. Sadly, these old vines are no more, so cherish what you
have. With great textures and bold acids, full indulgence is recommended for
this outstanding Texas Tempranillio. This is still cellaring nicely if you have
bottles. Santé!
