  Nothing wrong here, but just not compelling either. Texas blend of Rhone varietals put together with help of Kim McPherson. Firstly, give it some air time. Upon pouring, little to nose, a bit of wood, musty, quaffable, simple, no complexity. After sitting for an hour, a bit of fruit shows up on the nose, palate is more balanced, short clean finish. Bought this for $11.50 on clearance at Kroger, that is what it's worth. Good to have for guests who want a drink but don't appreciate more complex wines.

  Definitely an interesting red blend to try out. Nose of ripe blackberry, cherry, eucalyptus and smoke. Round mouthfeel with medium acid and light tannins. Palate is mildly sweet with notes of black fruit, new leather and dark chocolate. Needs more tannins and it’s a winner, unlike the State’s poorly coached college football team.

  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.

  This wine is very reflective of many Texas reds we tasted, lacking depth and structure. While it is better than many other choices, I don't think I'd purchase it again.

  This Texas Locations wine series is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan and a mix of other Bordeaux reds with some Petite Sirah. McPherson Cellars from Lubbock had a hand in crafting this wine. Letting this wine sit for about 45 minutes really allows it to reveal the best qualities of this wine. The deep purple-red color holds up well with little variation. You will initially pick up notes of raspberries, plums, and some cranberries. There is some pepperiness to it, but it is a smooth drinking red. This medium bodied wine is a good well rounded representation of Texas High Plains wines and offers a glimpse to the rest of the country and world of what Texas wines are all about. Cheers!
