Shortly
after taking over 1851 Vineyards, Slate Mill kept the 1851 label brand for some
of their wines. This Tempranillo was sourced from Reddy Vineyards of the Texas
High plains AVA. It has a lot of fruit going for it on its nose and at just 6
years old, it is still drinking well. This full-bodied red wine has some fine
earthy undertones coupled with blackberry and plum notes to add to the wonderful
flavor profile. The tannins are still holding firm along with good acids for
that optimal food pairing option with this one.
Sadly, neither winery is in
existence any longer, but you never know when you just might find a few bottles
here and there. Cheers!
