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 2015 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:
Traditional flavors of plum, blackberry and toasty oak abound in this 2015 vintage of our award wining wine. You’ll also find a touch of spice from splash of Zinfandel included in this vintage. Best enjoyed with traditional Texas Bar-B-Que and wild game.
