NOTES: This Texas Rhone style red is
a blend of five Rhone varieties grown in
our Texas vineyards: 39% Carignane , 27%
Syrah, 17% Mourvedre, 12% Grenache and
5% Viognier. This is a delicate wine
with a spicy perfumed aromatics with
underlying expression of cassis in mouth
flavor. Tannins are soft, exhibiting a
light to medium body. This Rhone Style
Red is a very nice example of the
influence that our Texas soil has on the
character of a wine.
Llano's Signature Rhone 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. This
wine is quite flavorful if served at
room temperature, but don't hesitate to
enjoy the fruitier characteristics it
exudes when chilled. |
