Gravitas – 2018; Calais Winery; Hye, Texas

This much loved and revered wine from Calais is such a pleasure to enjoy. Some serious grapes went into this blend of…can’t exactly say that here 😉.  Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA, this secret blend is somewhat opaque and fills the glass with aromas of berries and hazelnuts. It is more robust on the palate, so those who are serious red wine drinkers will enjoy this one. Currants will dazzle that full mouthfeel and those acids will surely tantalize everything else. At 15% abv, the high alcohol integrates quite nicely with the tasting profile without the burning or hot sensation – a mark of fine craftsmanship. Tannins do linger a bit, but you would expect something firm to finish off this red wine jewel.  Enjoy every drop and leave no fine wine behind. Santé!
