 Raider Red wines were developed as a partnership between two icons of the Texas South Plains - Texas Tech University and Llano Estacado Winery.  A portion of the sales proceeds from Raider wines help support the Texas Tech Alumni Association and wine and grape research at Texas Tech University.

The 2004 Raider Red is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, that unite to create a wonderfully complex, medium bodied, dry red wine with hints of cherry fruit on the palate.

We believe that wine is a healthful addition to a meal or to be enjoyed on its own.  This wine's flavor complements a broad range of foods from Tex-Mex, Southwestern cuisine, to grilled steaks and it is custom made for a tailgate Bar-b-Que at Jones field.
