My journey with TX wines continues...

YES! This is a killer effort of a Spanish varietal that is doing great here in TX! Many Spanish reds do well here, so I shouldn’t be surprised in regards to white varietals. I was skeptical at first as it was too cold...seemed like a run of the mill SauvBlanc, but this was wonderful once it warmed closer to room temp. Nose had a lot of melon, watermelon rind, honeydew, white flowers. Really nice texture from start to finish. Palate has more melon fruits, even some banana, and honeyed walnuts. Nice acidity...crisp, but not sharp. One of the best TX whites I’ve had. Very nicely done @Ron Yates ! Looks like @Shawn R and I scored this the same! — 7 years ago

@Jason Brater : TX does really well with Tempranillo...along with Ron Yates, I’d highly recommend CL Butaud and Calais.

Mark Flesher

Agreed on these notes , Shay. Solid bottle!

Really tasty. It's Texas wine--mix of Tempranillo, Cabernet and Merlot. Light, light light with a touch of sweetness. Good blend for a summer evening. — 8 years ago

Lost Oak Winery is about 25mins south of me. Their Double Diamond Merlot is the wine I feel like they do best for the price. Haven't had this

This one is simple and pleasing. It doesn't have the heft you might expect with Cabernet and merlot.

So much complexity. Fruit, savory, spice. Still very tight. Drinking with Cajun boudin while listening to the new Ryan Bingham album. — 10 years ago

(Ozarks Vacation) Citrus, honeysuckle, nectarine. Just enough acidity to cut through the medium bodied juiciness. Well made and balanced. Can easily compete with Viogniers around the world. From one of the top producers in Texas. — 11 years ago

VERY interested to try this wine as I just bought a 3-pack a little while back. This Randy Hester wine is doing GREAT things. 100% Texas Tempranillo sourced from Tx High Plains (Bingham and Farmhouse Vineyards both claim source). The sharp bite that seems to be present in a lot of Texas Temps. Not sure if it's the soil that adds this note or what, but I believe it is because it is not there in a lot of hill country AVA fruit. Either way, this tempranillo did not have that tart bite on the front. Lovely expressive tempranillo perfume came rolling out of the glass. I do know that Texas temp really does like to sit, and this one is a baby. The thing I noted most about this wine was its structure. This. Will. Age. Well. It just needs a little more time for integration. This solidified my happiness of a 3-pack purchase, and glad I was able to get a sneak peak. Really neat project wine by Randy Hester. If anyone knows how to manipulate the "wilder side" of grapes and tame the wild beast, it is him! — 8 years ago
