Super Texan 2014
The Story:
The “wine that made us famous” at Flat Creek Estate represents the ‘best of Texas’ in the wine category. It’s even been showcased on the Today Show! Consistently a winner in wine sales and in wine awards, the 2014 vintage continues a Flat Creek Estate tradition with the majority of the grapes sourced from Flat Creek vineyards where Sangiovese, Syrah, Tempranillo and Montepulciano are all grown.
The Tasting Notes:
Our 2014 Super Texan is a Sangiovese blend with notes of Bing cherry, blueberry and warm vanilla. It is a medium-bodied wine with a full mid-palate highlighted by flavors of plum, blackberry and toasty oak. The balanced acidity and supple tannins support aromas of vanilla, blackberry and cassis that carry into a long finish with a hint of smoke and spice.
