Say
it can’t be done, but it can! Behold, some mighty fine Rive Droite wine made
with Texas grapes. Throw in some Cabernet
Franc, toss in some Cabernet Sauvignon, add some Merlot along with a dash of Petit
Verdot and voilà! Of course, meticulous vineyard management and expert winemaking
skills play a large part as well. The wine pours a dark ruby red shade and
fills the air with notes of red currant and cherries. Sip and savor and you will
relish those silky tannins and tobacco notes, too. This full-bodied gem is
quite smooth and very well balanced. This lovely wine will also reveal a hint
of spice for added enjoyment. A good hour of decanting should suffice for ultimate
sipping sensations. However, the best way to enjoy may be to sip and relish
this one over the course of the evening so you see how this wine truly unfolds
over time. This red vintage can probably cellar longer than most Texas reds, so
save a few bottles and enjoy a new experience in the future. Santé!
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.
