Tart cherry, dusty, gritty Texas soil, honest wine with an elegant kick. Is that possible? Find out.

Very thin, for a texas wine, rather good, for a wine of the world meh. Fruit on the nose and cured meat, blood and a smidge of mineral. Was not the hype I expected from William Chris.

Disappointed. I picked up a bottle a year ago and loved it. Different vintage possibly? I don’t like this one at all. 2017

This is awesome...smokey on the nose, remarkably smooth, tart cherry and some earth.

Smooth like butter. Not tannic. Paired nicely with burgers; would work wonderfully with steak!

Lovely dinner wine. Smooth, bright with subtle tobacco notes to finish. Paired well with grillwd steak and the tang of feta in a Greek salad.

Burnt garner color. Rim to core is gradual. Medium viscosity. Dark fruit on the nose: blueberry, black cherry, perhaps fig. Mouth feel is jammy and slightly astringent. Taste is smooth. Earthy. The dark fruit have become earthen. Finish is slight, as are tannins. Have a feeling this wine only gets better as you drink it.
