Montepulciano 2017
A dark ruby robe sets the stage for the 2017 Montepulciano. Its nose offers an enchanting blend of dark cherry, blackberry, and black currant, with a subtle hint of spice. The palate delivers a skillful performance, with medium-high tannins orchestrating a dance between lush strawberry jam and lively tart cranberry notes, lingering gracefully with hints of black pepper. The iron minerality drawn from the red sandy soil of Texas High Plains adds depth and authenticity, wrapping the palate in a distinctive embrace.
Pairing Suggestion: Grilled lamb chops marinated in rosemary and garlic, hearty mushroom risotto.
