Named
after the native Texas plant Texans all know and love, this club members’
driven blend of 45% Montepulciano, 35% Sangiovese, and 20% Aglianico is a take
on Super-Tuscan style wine. Sourced from Uplift Vineyards of the Texas Hill
Country AVA, it pours a semi opaque red-violet shade with notes of cherries initially
greeting you. There are some raspberries and a bit of leather as well in this
medium bodied dry red wine blend. It’s not over the top heavy or very tannic
and hits the good points about mid pallet.
Try a “take two” on the sipping experience and you’ll note some lovely
earthiness to complement the adventure.
The acids seem to be at a good point, and it is developing quite well.
This red wine jewel should evolve quite nicely over time. Salute!
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.
