Saying
that this “outsider wine” stands on its own can be an understatement. This
Texas High Plains blend of 25% Syrah, 23% Mourvèdre, 23% Counoise, 23%
Cinsault, and 6% Viognier definitely gets the job done on good tasting wine.
It’s a Rhone like blend that pours a very light red color followed by aromas of
rich red berries and some oak. Plums come out as well along with scents of crab
apple. There might be a bit of pepper in
there as you sip and swirl along with a touch of coffee. Let’s call this fine
wine medium all around for acids, body, and tannins. With a good structure and
fine finish, there is a lot to savor for this wine gem. 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.
