  This is a bold, rich blend that still maintains a subtle elegance without being overpowering. I get complex notes of blackberry, dark plum, cranberry, black currant, leather, tobacco, and mocha.

  Pour up this lovely Texas 2017 and relish the different flavors this wine has. This Texas High Plains sourced fruit is a blend of 32% Tempranillo, 26% Petite Sirah, 18% Grenache, 13% Sangiovese, and 11% Mourvèdre. The color on that first pour looks garnet and the air will quickly fill with aromas of blackberry and currant. You might also discern a bit of tobacco, as well. Swirl and sip and let those flavors of cranberry sooth the palate with hints of leather and some smoke. The acids are about moderate for this full-bodied red wine with a medium finish. As a gold winner from the Lone Star International Wine Competition of 2021, you might have a little something extra to brag about at your next wine friend’s get-together if you bring this beauty with you. Cheers!

  Tasted non blind at the winery.
  
  Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of smoke, pepper, boysenberry and raspberry. Flavors of raspberries, cranberries and boysenberries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.
