This
red varietal has quickly become synonymous with fine Texas wine in recent
years. It is also a treat to try a winery’s own unique take on this grape, providing
an exceptional opportunity to experience different styles. It is an extra
special treat to not only try an estate wine, but this vintage just happens to
be their first estate Mourvèdre release. Grown on their wine tasting property
in Stonewall, this medium bodied five year old wine is still fruit forward,
maintains good acids, excellent palate satisfaction and wait…wait….just
wait…also boasts in at 15.3 abv! It is not only an impressively well integrated
high alcohol wine, but well balanced. The proof is in the full glass that there
are vineyards along HWY 290 of the Texas Hill Country AVA that can not only
make great red wines, but a pretty tasty Mourvèdre as well. Santé!
