I'm less impressed than the other reviewers. One-dimensional. May be past it's prime. Grapes are not from Texas. Woody characteristics. Not much fruit. A little bitter. Not much nose. Very nice color.

“Super Tuscan style” blend, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.8% ABV. I was extremely pleased to see this Texas Hill Country wine perform so well, especially since the region is so dear to my heart. A brilliant, clear, ruby red in the glass. An elegant nose of spice, bright red fruits, raspberry, wintergreen, and mild oak. Fruit-forward and juicy in the mouth with a silky smooth texture up front, followed by sweet tannins, a great balanced acidity, good alcohol, and flavors of blackberries, black cherries, milk chocolate, and vanilla. An overall well-integrated wine.

Aromas and flavors of floral, dark fruit, spice, vanilla, cherry and strawberry. The wine is medium bodied and has a good structure with a tantalizing finish. Excellent! This is made in Texas? I have always enjoyed Grape Creek Cab based wines.

Excellent bottle of wine. Drank over a few hours by itself. Decanted for 30 minutes prior.
