Beautiful example of great Texas winemaking. At eleven years into the vintage, this one is still going strong. Black currant and cherry, with cedar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Multiple layers of flavor front to back. If you find this '04 for sale (doubtful) don't hesitate to purchase. Otherwise, later vintages should be developing great character by now and could be found.

Exquisite! Perfectly balanced medium bodied black currant and dark cherry aromas and flavors, with hints of cedar, dark chocolate, and spice on the palate. Oak is nicely integrated and never overshadows the fruit. Clean, long finish from first glass to the last. At almost ten years this vintage appears to be perfectly aged and should be enjoyed now, even though it may continue to develop for some time.

Very surprising great drinking 10 year old wine from Texas under $50. Loved it!
