As
a collaborative effort lead by McPherson Cellars, this Rhone-style blend
leverages the expertise of some Texas High Plains AVA winegrowers. As the
“windy” name implies, it’s pretty much synonymous with the vast pan handle
region. For the 2021 vintage, grapes were sourced from Farmhouse and Lahey
Vineyards. The blend consists of 25% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 18%
Petite Sirah, and 17% Grenache. Upon initial pour, the wine exhibits a medium
garnet hue and expresses notes of red and black plum. It feels medium bodied
and has a nice earthiness to it, as well. The wine does seem to have just the
right amount of bright acidity and balance with gentle tannins. With a nice
long smooth finish, this red wine is a great one to savor all evening. Cheers!
