Kiepersol Estates Winery
Texas Cabernet Sauvignon
Texas, USA
Black currant, blackberry, black pepper. An abundance of oak, perhaps too much, but I still really like this wine.

Interesting local cab from a winery outside of Dallas. One of the better Texas wines I've tasted

Dec 1st, 2018Anything from Kiepersol is ok by me. I don't know what took me so long to try the cab, though. Great, strong bouquet, even dryness, strong fruit. Love it.

Jun 13th, 2017I wasn't expecting much, given that I had a few people who were there when this was bottled all tell me that it was past its prime. It has been stored at 55 degrees since purchase. Served up pop and pour, this wine gave me a very nice surprise. After 10 minutes, the bouquet and front of this wine we're quite enjoyable. Definitely a dark expression with a little bit of plum, earthy blackberry, cumin, and a middle that had a little bit of green pepper. Finishes still a bit spicy, and actually quite robust. I am thoroughly impressed with this wine. Made by a legendary Texas winemaker who has recently passed, this offering goes to show you what can truly be made from grapes grown not more than two hours east of the DFW metroplex! I am not sure this one really has much additional holding potential. So drink now and enjoy!

Peppery! Fairly well balanced and went well with the pork shoulder I had for dinner.

Surprising nice for under $20. Full bodied, complex, slight tannins and acidity. Currant and licorice came to mind. Has a nice finish.

Apr 2nd, 2016Initially very smokey & spicy. It tastes like it comes from a charred oak barrel. Then you will notice the lack of a burn. It's not harsh at all, only a little "warm" at room temperature.
