Perissos has demonstrated expertise with Aglianico, which
has become a hallmark varietal produced from their Texas Hill Country AVA
estate. The 2020 vintage underwent extended malolactic fermentation and
aging right in the barrel. What might one get from this? A rich and intense
luscious wine that is worth savoring all day. Those black cherries and
cranberries play off each other quite well in adding harmonious fruit flavors.
The tannins are on the plus side of medium and the acidity has a vibrant kick
to it. Let’s just say having extra bottles for repeat enjoyment is a must for
this vintage jewel. What a treat. Delicious!
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.
