Signature Rhone 2005 August and September 2005 11.8% 0.63 (As Tartaric) 3.64 .18 24.1 Rhone Red 85° Degrees F (Temp.) 8 Months in one and two year old French  Oak. VEGAN CERTIFIED

NOTES:  This Texas Rhone style red  is a  blend of five Rhone varieties grown  in our Texas vineyards: 43% Carignane , 33% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache and 4% Viognier. This is a delicate wine with a spicy perfumed aromatics, "berry fruit" mouth flavors complimented by a medium tannin structure.  This Rhone Style Red is a very nice example of the influence that our Texas soil and hotter growing environment has on the character of a wine.

This wine exhibits the spicy flavor of our region, making it a particularly fine wine to serve with food.  Try with chicken tacos, roasted sweet peppers and  cumin rice, or Santa Fe-styled enchiladas with chili, perfect with a pork tenderloin with a demiglaze. This wine is quite flavorful if served at room temperature, but don't hesitate to enjoy the fruitier characteristics it exudes when chilled.
