This
blend of Tempranillo 41%, Mourvèdre 19%, Ruby Cabernet 8%, and Barbera 5% is
not only well balanced, but has been maturing gracefully over the last 13
years. Not as much of the initial fruit sensation from the early days, but the
flavor profile is still intact. There is little color change, though you can
tell this is an older wine and happy the cork was well intact. Earthy
undertones are more prominent in this Texas red wine blend and the tannins are
sitting at about medium. It does have a very nice smooth finish to complement
your evening meal. Keep holding it if you’d like, but it is probably at its
peak now, so enjoy this one well!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
