Subtle nose, a bit of strawberry, smells more alcoholic than it actually is. Bold flavor, dark berries and black licorice. Plenty tannic but not too acidic. Surprisingly spicy finish. Totally worth a try. If I could find it in Texas I would put a few in the cellar to see how they age.

A reasonable representation of common Texas wines. Not representative of the niche Texas vineyards like Bending Branch. Little nose, nothing worth mentioning. A little acidic and not overty tannic. Flavors of dark berries, blackberries, and red licorice, kind of a strawberry flavor. Maybe some light white oak and white pepper finish mixed with honeydew melon flavor. Fruity and enjoyable, let it breath 30 or more minutes. I paid $15 at H.E.B. and I will not do so again. That being said, I'm happy I tried it even though I'm not a fan of fruity wines with minimal tannic structure.

High acidity, sharp tannins, dark fruit, chocolate, spice and a little tobacco. Needs a few years.
