This may be the most interesting vintage of The Doctor to date with 12% Sangiovese added to the blend. It helps lift otherwise dark and brooding varietals like Tempranillo. Paired beautifully with Christmas beef tenderloin!

Tonight was the 38th Big Taste of Fort Worth in honor of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Great wines and phenomenal food pairings. Went through about 25 wines tonight, so I'm only highlighting my favorites.

I've had this once before (visited them back in 2015, beautiful tour up at Stagecoach) and forgot how nice this Tempranillo is. Napa style Tempranillo is a nice change of pace from having lots of TX Tempranillo here. Tannins are nicely integrated...felt extremely balanced. Nothing was hot about it.

This is 44% Tempranillo and this vintage has 12% Sangiovese which has lifted the acid. It's a nice blend.

Drinking with a bunch of my favorite DOCTORS makes this even more enjoyable.

A fantastic Sangiovese blend that is made in a new world style. Much more fruit than an Italian wine but there was enough acidity to keep this girl balanced.
