Sangiovese – 2020; Pebble Rock Cellars; Johnson City, Texas

Nothing like an elegant Sangiovese to help ease the tensions of a long day. Sourced from Narra Vineyards of the Texas High Plains AVA, this red wine unfolds nicely with a bright bouquet of cherries and some dried fruit.  Take a few sips and swirls and you will also taste a touch of spice. It is a bit lighter on the tannins which is just fine for this wine, and the acids seem to be just about right to help balance things for our best food pairing. Wonderful to sip on its own, but worth pairing with food. Enjoy this treat!

Mourvèdre – 2020; Limestone Terrace Vineyard; Wimberley, Texas

There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying a hand-crafted estate wine.  Located in the Texas Hill Country AVA, this local vineyard fruit pours a light red shade with aromas of cherry to greet your wine senses followed by a bit of blackberry and strawberry.  Take a few sips and repeat, so it is worth to appreciate the initial sips.

You will note the good acidity this Hill Country Mourvèdre has along with some moderate tannins.  Just take a moment to pause and think about what feast to have with the next bottle, because this beauty is definitely food pairing primed for maximum enjoyment.

Cabernet Sauvignon – 2019; Bending Branch Winery; Comfort, Texas

Sourced from the Texas High Plains, this mighty Texas Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a good balance on all fronts. Harvested from Newsom Vinyards at 25 brix and aged in American and French oak for 30 months, notes of vanilla and dark fruit come out the most for this Texas wine treat. The color seems a bit lighter than other Texas Cabs, but doesn’t distract from the overall tasting profile. Sip and swirl and you might pick up some jammy sensations along with a peppery like finish. The balance between tannins and acids seems just about right, so feast up on your best dish. Cheers!
