Most
everyone in the Texas wine world knows John Rivenburgh and Ron Yates for the
great wines they make at their respective wineries. However, what would happen
if the two winemakers collaborated on a bottle and combined forces to blend their
way to something unique together? Say for example, “you got Tannat in my
Tempranillo” or vice versa? Either way,
it just might be the next new wave of Texas red wine creative blending and
artful creation. Sourced from the Texas
High Plains AVA, the Tannat was crafted by John and Ron made the
Tempranillo. This co-conspirator “T&T”
red blend is some pretty darn good stuff.
Even at six years old, it still showcases great fruit forward aromas,
nice bright acids, and a respectable mouth soothing feel, along with a
long-lasting finish. The only other thing you will want to do is pair with your
best meaty dish. Nothing short of
delicious will reign from your vocal cords with this beast. It’s drinking nicely
now and should last a few more years, too. Meanwhile, you can ponder what would
the next creation of J&R or R&J wine blend be. Enjoy this one and savor
each sip of this special jewel!
