This dark Tempranillo smells like a meeting of Rioja and the Lone Star State. Huge whiffs of blackberry and blueberry are laced with some good ol' Texas dust. Earth plays a big supporting role, with oak pulling up in third place. A little bit of vanilla, a little bit of clove and a lot of leather are in its aromatic saddlebag. The wine's earthiness comes through even bigger on the palate, where it rivals those dark berries.

An awesome wine, no matter where it's from. I'm proud of Texas for this one. Complex, fruity nose and lingering finish. Can't wait to drink it again.

All neutral oak, Texas High Plains Tempranillo. Good balance and length, fresh black plum, not masked by any intrusive oak!

This is really nice and varietally correct. Dusty and a little smoky. Good fruit, bright acidity.

Its not a temperillo its a vermentino. But it is quite surprising for Texas wine. Crisp and refreshing, slightly acidic.

Very well made wine! 100% Texas. Big flavor, but no one note overwhelms the others. Smooth with just the right tannin to fruit. Spicy with vanilla & clove, dark berry fruits. #txwine
