Brief tasting notes from the annual Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival. Whites knocked it out of the park this year.

Nice surprise running in to
@Ron Yates at the festival tonight! @Shawn R , we spoke about you!

A very unique blend...Tempranillo, graciano, merlot, Cabernet. Nose is very fruit focused with bing cherry and blackberries, but the palate is quite Bordeaux like. Picked up some herbal nuances, leather, and lighter than I expected. I’ve heard Ron makes great wine so this was my first intro...looking forward to trying more!

Black cherry & tart berry. A little roasted poblano pepper (maybe a little green peppery but not terribly). Some Bordeaux like tertiary stuff like chocolate and a hint of tobacco. Unique stuff outta Texas.
