I've always thought being a wine maker or a wine connoisseur would be among the top jobs in the country. But it requires real training and know-how to start in this industry and a sort of delicacy for aroma and taste.
In this blog, I'll try to bring my experiences and recently acquired knowledge 'to the table' sort to speak. I hope you enjoy some of my reviews and opinions.
TEXAS LLANO ESTACADO
Llano Estacado is a winery in Texas with a modest line of wines: from Malbec to Moscato, their wines range on average, around $12 and the quality is sure to surpass the price.
The Llano Estacato Caberent is an exquisite blend with just a hint of Sanviovesse. This vintage is made with mostly Texas grapes and little bit of California grape influence.
This delicious wine has a smooth entrance and then a dry kick to it.
A bit stronger than a table wine, with 12.9% alcohol percentage.
Like most Cabernets, we have your main components: blackberries, cedar, chocolate, coffe and more smooth textures like vanilla but this Texas native has a more lingering aroma.
If paired, I would recommend a flavorful red meat like Moroccan Lamb Kabobs, Fettuccine Alfredo or a nice, "meaty" pizza.
The interactions between both flavors will sure be a strong, hearty Texas-sized meal to remember.
A bit about Texas Wines:
Texas has slightly different kind of grapes and sometimes unpredictable weather but also some of the most interesting wines in the country.
Some vineyards grow their grapes alongside a lavender field, to infuse the aroma to the crop. The local wineries certainly carry some good pride in all of their special selections and I highly encourage taking this great tour.
I would definitely start with the Fredericksburg area wineries and then take another trip into the northern Austin-area wineries.
Hope you enjoy!
VinoVine.
