"The Circle" Field Blend – 2017; Reddy Vineyards; Brownfield, Texas

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!
