Rachis Texas Mourvedre 2015

*Texas* Mourvedre? Wow! My roots are Texan but I had no idea there was wine grown there. At first, I thought it was a single-vineyard wine from a block named "Texas" 😹

Any road, this smooth, fruit-forward wine is medium bodied and nicely balanced, with bright cherry and currant fruits. We consumed this as a cocktail wine and were pleasantly surprised at how fast the decanter emptied.

This is a perfect wine for entertaining - easy to drink but not so baroque that non-oenophiles will be driven away. As they might say back in Dallas, this wine is sweeter than stolen honey and if it tasted any better, I’d drop my harp plumb through the cloud.

TX 3 Red Blend

A lot of thought and planning goes into this collaboration with McPherson Cellars, I'm beyond thrilled to finally have this baby in bottle. So thrilled, it's a NoFX, crazy puppy, pizza and Texan-Rhone night. Couldn't be happier. — 8 years ago

9.5 really? I am exited for the great country of TX to have its own bottling. Can't wait to try this OS wine. Great post.

Stylistically on point with DP's other wines, not lacking in fruit or elegance, lower alc than CA bottlings. Completely delightful. As a side note, Locations isn't OS wine, it's a separate Phinney project.

Thanks. I'm very familiar with DP's location wines. I've served cases E2 and E3 with my paellas over the last couple of years. Those and D66 I'll serve to the snobbiest of winos. I've had most of the locations except for P AR and TX. They are fun to serve for friends and keeps them happy. Can't wait to try the TX though.
