At
3700 feet, Newson Vineyards has been well known for growing some stellar Texas
fruit. Add to that the 2017 vintage year with all Mother Nature imparted to the
mix, and you get some amazing, crafted wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon made by
Bending Branch exemplifies all that and more. Clocking in at 14.8 ABV, the
color looks great, and the aromas of dark fruit are wonderful. Cherries and
strawberries are notable along with some leather. Let’s call this red jewel
medium plus along with some earthy undertones for added character. A quality food pairing would be the ideal
companion for this red wine, but it is also a great stand-alone sipper. 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.
