Another dip in to my TX wine journey, but this time with a twist. Spicewood sources fruit from Cali and WA state for a few of their bottles and makes them at the winery. This RRV Pinot is from Wohler Vineyard (I believe Sojourn makes a nice Pinot from here).
Ruby red in the glass. The nose on this is quite spot on. Black cherry, maple-birch wood, and stewed blackberries. Acidity is medium. Fairly light on the front and mid-palate but a LOT of flavor on the backend...strawberry and raspberries preserve, herbal seasoning. This wine benefited from food being paired with it (my wife’s awesome cauliflower crust spinach and chicken pizza in particular).
