Wow, oh wow! The Super Texan brand from Flat Creek has always been a serious go-to Italian style Sangiovese blend to have on hand. Most of the grapes for this vintage were sourced from the Texas Hill Country AVA. This mix of 75% Sangiovese, 16% Montepulciano, 6% Petite Sirah, and 3% Primitivo patiently sat three years in the barrel before being bottled. The result is a very well balanced, favorable, and satisfying wine to thoroughly enjoy. It exhibits a deep ruby red hue with a bouquet of raspberries and cherries to greet you. Sip and savor and some notes of pepper and mesquite will help add to the satisfying sipping session. It still maintains a vibrant fruit sensation even after eight years. Let’s call this one medium bodied with a plus on the acids and just a notch below medium for the tannins. Enjoy this jewel well. Cin Cin!
