Four Horsemen 2014
The Story:
Our Estate Red Blend is designed to showcase the results when exceptional Texas fruit is crafted with exceptional winemaking skill. This wine showcases our unique terroir and reflects the strength each of the four varieties contributes. The blend was created by choosing only the best barrels for each variety which were painstakingly combined to achieve a wine of supreme depth and balance. This wine was unfined and unfiltered to preserve every subtlety possible. Each limited installment will only be produced when the fruit demands.
The Tasting Notes:
The 2014 Four Horsemen opens with aromas of thyme and juniper berries. The winter notes continue on the palate with a pleasant sugarplum and anise essence. The finish leaves your mouth salivating for more. Enjoy with Duck Confit or creamy blue cheese...we love the “Ewe Calf to be Kidding Me” cheese from Antonelli’s.
