Give this Deep Sea Pinot Noir a little time to open up and you will be rewarded with well integrated tannins and a wine full of flavors like dark cherry, blackberry, currents with a touch of oaky vanilla. A bit lighter and fruit forward than many California Pinots, makes this wine a great summer Pinot Noir choice.
A dense and well balanced, smooth red Bordeaux wine that is also food friendly. Flavors of black cherry, black berries and currants are highlighted by smooth tannins and an earthy richness. We enjoyed the wine with a meal of grilled veggies and tomatoes topped with a grilled lamb chop. Buy this wine at Wine Chateau
Another beautiful Pinot from the hands of James MacPhail. A blend of four vineyards aged in French oak. Lovely flavors of dark cherry, plum, leather, cola and smokey spice box. Incredibly smooth and rich, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Nothing really special here but not bad either. A pleasant Cabernet that will not overpower your meal at a good value price. Rich and fruity, blackerry and spice with mild tannins. At under $20 go for it… A decent “go-to” Cabernet
An excellent example of what will someday prove to be the red wine grape of Texas, Tempranillo. We loved the Fall Creek Vineyards ’08 but the’09 Tempranillo is even better. Grapes from the Salt Lick Vineyard behind the famed Austin Salt Lick BBQ restaurant consistently perform. Great flavors of rich dark cherry with a hint of smokey richness and soft tannins make this a delicious food friendly wine. The soft tannins create an approachable wine from the moment the cork is popped. Limited production, this Tempranillo is available from Fall Creek Vineyards and will be in a few selected Austi and San Antonio eateries.
