Have to say, this 12-year-old Texas Mourvèdre is both
surprising and impressive. Sourced from Lost Draw Vineyards in the Texas High
Plains AVA, it sits at 14.3% ABV and still has balance after all these years.
Moderate cranberry and cherry notes remain, joined by a touch of blackberry. A
hint of smoke leads into a lingering leather finish. This beauty is a strong
example of both single-vineyard Mourvèdre and how well this varietal in Texas
can age. Cheers!
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.
