Black currant, cedar, tar, cigar box, coffee, vanilla. Quite a complex nose. The palate is very concentrated with a strong acid backbone, and some dark and dense matter with black currant and somehow dusty tannins that kick everything up. The finish is very long and very wide with some bitterness popping up, black currant, and a pinch of salt. We paired this baby with a gigantic beef T-bone. Perfect pairing. It's still very young and needs time. Not a 9 because it's still too young — 6 years ago
Texas wines have grown. This is an outstanding blend of Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre from Salt Lick Vineyard. This is a complex wine with great structure and finesse. Great to see the Lone Star State wines mature and compete in the world stage. Visited the Fall Creek Vineyards. Well worth it can’t get it retail because of the limited production but can get it online. New release of the 2016 vintage. Excellent! — 7 years ago

Perfumed purple flowers, dried herbs, salt and smoke(!) aromas lead into Bing & black cherry, ripe raspberry, red & just ripe black plum, all framed by salty minerals, acidity could be a bit higher, but super-fine tannins make up the space. — 11 years ago
Delicious. Seasonal. — 11 years ago
Touch of salt, apple and light baking spice on the nose. Mix of green apple and pickled fruit on the palate, with a medium finish. More tart and vinegar than your typical albarino. 2018 vintage. — 6 years ago

Aromas are sea salt and herbal. Beautiful light straw color. Crisp with a depth of silky warmth. Floral hint for a touch of elegance. — 7 years ago
My go to rose. Reminds me of my birthday during the spring! Vibrant, joyful and fresh- the nose brings a delicate floral note and strawberries. The palate has lime zest, candied/salt dipped strawberries, ripe raspberries and cherry blossoms. Very balanced and tastes structured for such a young wine. If I was stranded on an island with one wine for the rest of my life this might be it. — 7 years ago
Mellow, stately nose of flint, lemon, ripe melon and toasty barley invites you in, only to be assailed by a ripping current of electric acidity up front. Once the shock wears off there are layers of citrus, fennel, green apple, sea salt and limestone to be enjoyed. Acid profile is a bit aggro at the moment but has the makings of a chiseled, mineral, beautiful Chard. — 8 years ago

Enjoyed this bubbly BFF picked fav! Had forgotten about it.. just the perfect sweetness but not overly too much where more than a glass would cause headache/sour stomach. She served it with a meat/cheese/olive tray & dark chocolates for BookClub night! Will be buying myself some!!! — 7 years ago

Learning new thangs: mushroom, smoke, bright, salt, texture. Abv 15%!!! And wildly balanced. We were poured entry level '15 from same producer n thought 'wow tropical Mom wine w/ punishingly long finish' — 9 years ago
Preserved lemon, sea salt, rocks and screaming acid. A lot of complexity in a very defined wine. Almost has a tannic grip to it. Wondering what RS there might be to balance this acid. — 9 years ago
Love this #wine. Salt, minerality, citrus. — 11 years ago
