As
one of the first wine releases, it is an extra special treat to feature this
fine crafted wine. There is definitely a lot to say about Bill Blackmon and his
contribution to the Texas wine industry, but let’s get straight to this wine.
Sourced from the Blackmon Ranch Vineyard of the Texas Hill Country AVA, this
hand crafted jewel will reflect the essence of everything that is great about
the Hickory Sandstone formation and then some. A good 90-minute decant should
do well for starting your sipping experience. Upon the initial swirls, you
should get some good cherry on the nose to entice your wine senses. Follow that
up with some notes of white pepper and a little bit of blackberry. Ironically,
the finish comes across a bit young, but that’s a good thing as time should
unfold an even more dynamic experience. Try now if you must, however, you
should be more the amply rewarded to wait a few more years. 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.
