Merlot – 2018; William Chris Vineyards; Hye, Texas

Ah…behold, wine made with grapes from Granite Hill Vineyards! Though this once highly sought after fruit of Bell Mountain AVA is no more, it is still a special treat to taste some of that greatness in a glass. This vintage, crafted by William Chris, maintains the high standards of the grapes associated with their origin. It is holding up quite well after seven years with robust flavors and aromas. The wine displays a subtle cherry hue on the initial pour, accompanied by nuanced notes of plum and blueberry. Sip and swirl and relish every harmonious note on the palate and bouquet to the fullest. The wine is well rounded, full of flavor, and will hook you with that fine smooth finish. It is an exceptional and well-crafted masterpiece. If you have any lingering in your cellar, enjoy this one. Cheers!
