Clocking
in at 15.1% ABV, this Texas High Plains sourced Merlot is extraordinary. Chalk
it up to the fantastic year that 2017 was for Texas grapes, but also for some
fantastic winemaking skills. The dark
ruby color is an eye catcher to watch when pouring but do let it sit about 45
minutes or so and just enjoy the ever-changing aromas of blackberry and
currant. Take some sips and let your
palate relish this medium plus mouthfeel jewel.
Those figs start to delight your tastebuds along with hints of vanilla
and spice. Acids may be a bit higher than most Merlots, but nothing a good
proper feast pairing can’t balance out.
The tannins are about a notch below moderate and yes, there is some
sediment in the bottle for you hard core red wine lovers! This beautiful red
wine is one to savor, so enjoy well. Santé!
