Behold
this fantastic field blend from their 360-degree vineyard plot! This Texas High
Plains AVA fruit is a mix of Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Carignane, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, and Tannat. These grapes
were not only harvested together, but they were co-fermented together to
produce this unique style of red wine blend. Clocking in at 14.7% abv, let’s
see how this old-world style stacks up.
How does it look? A very dark rich crimson color is visually pleasing as
you prepare for that initial sip. How does it smell? It is very fruit forward
with black cherries, strawberries, and cranberries. How does it taste? It is ultra-smooth with soft tannins. You
will discern figs and tobacco notes in there in addition to the big bold berry
fruits. This medium bodied wine has moderate acidity and kicks in just a touch
of oak for the finish. We think you will
thoroughly enjoy this special treat, so stock up and enjoy well. One of our
favorites we have sipped this year. Cheers!
