Four Horsemen 2015
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:
This is winter in the Texas Hill Country in a bottle. Cinnamon and cedar on the nose remind you for warm pies by the campfire. Couple that with leather and a finish as warm as Texas hospitality and you have yourself a bottle of Texas wine to share with your out-of-town guests. Small batch artisanship is evident in this 130 case release of Four Horsemen.
