Four Horsemen 2012
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 then painstakingly combined to achieve a wine of supreme depth and balance. This wine was un-fined and un-filtered to preserve every sublety possible. Each limited installment will only be produced when the fruit demands.
The Tasting Notes:
The 2012 Four Horsemen is expresses the Flat Creek Estate terroir beautifully. The expressive Syrah exhibits the traditional blackberry notes with a Texas meatiness. The Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional add color and a Spanish flair. Enjoy this wine with Texas Whitetail Deer around a campfire.
