Signature Rhone 2006 August and September 2006 11.8% 0.65 (As Tartaric) 3.86 .18 22.4 Rhone Red 85° Degrees F (Temp.) 9 Months in one and two year old French  and American  Oak. VEGAN CERTIFIED

NOTES:  This Texas Rhone style red  is a  blend of five Rhone varieties grown  in our Texas vineyards: 13% Carignane , 38.7% Syrah, 22% Mourvedre, 13.7% Grenache and 12.6% 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 Southwest region, making it a particularly fine wine to serve with our regional foods.  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.
