This
example of a Bordeaux style blend made from Texas grapes should stimulate your
interest if you love Bordeaux wines. Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA,
this beauty is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit
Verdot and was aged for 32 months in mostly new French Oak. Presenting itself
at a whopping 15.7% ABV, this high alcohol beast integrates quite well with the
overall tasting profile. Don’t be afraid of the alcohol content on this one, this
sips as an elegant and refined red blend. Yes, the legs are super thick for
those that like that sort of thing and will greet your nose with pleasant warm
spices, vanilla, and a touch of violet.
Besides the thick long legs, the deep garnet color can be enticing to
gaze at as well. This wine has a lot of dark berry flavors to savor with lush
tannins for extra enjoyment on the finish.
This smooth drinker is holding up very well. Hold on to your bottles if
you like, but why waste a moment of greatness, as it is so worthy of sipping
and enjoying now. This red wine jewel
just might make you a left-bank lover. Santé!
