Behold,
this big and bold Rive Droite is clocking in at 15.4 abv! Fruit was sourced
from the Texas High Plains AVA for this Texas take on a Bordeaux style blend of
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This one has extra-long legs
and pours an enticing ruby red color with a tint of purple. Notes of dark cherry fruit will reach out and
tantalize your wine senses. Take a few
sips and repeat for that added sensation of black pepper and a touch of herbs
with coffee. There is some oak in there
as well plus a pinch of nutmeg for good measure. This full-bodied beast has
medium acidity and tannins and is also drinking well now. Go all out on a good
pairing with this luscious red wine and hold nothing back. You’ll love it! Santé!
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.
