Just
sit back and be bedazzled by this Mason County fruit. Just saying that the
fruit was sourced from Robert Clay Vineyards will set your wine sensors off in
high anticipation. On top of that, Mother Nature’s impact in 2017 did marvelous
wonders for just about every vineyard in Texas. Gazing at that first pour, you
will notice that it is a bit darker than most other Texas Merlots. It does not
take long to be refreshed by those fruity aromatic sensations, either. Soak up those cherry and cola notes and savor
that nice tantalizing acidity sensation and tannins. Your mouthfeel experience will be nothing
short of satisfaction and yes, those are some great earthy undertones that will
tickle your palate, too. With just a touch of leather, and you can see why
Merlot is “in” as a great red wine to drink. It’s drinking well now, but no
reason this one can’t keep cellaring a couple more years. Cheers!
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.
