Clocking in at 14.9 ABV, this left bank Bordeaux style wine
is drinking very well right now. Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA, this
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot was aged for almost three
years. The initial pour reveals a moderate
ruby hue and instantly fills the air with deep, dark fruit aromas. Swirl
if you wish, but that first taste will ignite your
palate with raspberry notes, hints of coffee bean, and traces of blueberry.
You may also notice a touch of spice,
subtle leathery undertones, and a faint of toastiness. Let’s place this
mighty red beast at medium plus with good acidity. That velvety finish feel is
a showstopper for sure! The 2019 vintage is showing to be an outstanding one, a
very rich and smooth wine to savor all day - Viva la left bank!
