The
estate vineyard of Bingham has been a long-time popular grower of top-quality
fruit in Texas for numerous wineries.
Though you may tend to find this grape as a blending varietal elsewhere,
it does make a great single varietal to enjoy. Grown in the Texas High Plains
AVA, this 2018 estate vintage has lovely floral notes with a touch of rose
petals. Add to that, some cranberry and blackberry notes along with a bit of smoke.
Sip a few times, and you might discern a bit of pepper in there along with a touch
of vanilla. This red wine jewel has medium tannins and about the same for
acidity. It’s a finely crafted Carignan, so enjoy. 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.
