This is a nice 50/50 blend of Texas High Plains Cab and Merlot. The wine looks garnet colored medium legs. There is light sediment in the bottle with a nose dust, medium toast, and oak. It's "dusty" and soft in the mouth with notes of black currant. The body is medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium.

This is the wine that got us into drinking "better" reds. This 2008 blend was still holding up well. No rust color or raisin nose. Lots of structure and fruit. We love this wine in this vintage and will miss it.

The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, red currant, raspberry, black currant (cassis), flint, mineral and stoniness. It tastes like stoniness, dust, oak and vanilla. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
