Llano Estacado

"The Tree" Tempranillo

The Artist Series “The Tree” from Llano Estacado leads with savory black olive, licorice, and tar notes. Medium-bodied, it is framed by intense tannins that will benefit from some additional aging to soften. The wine finishes long, with a distinct ironstone mineral quality.

Llano Estacado

Kubacak Vineyards, Sangiovese Classico

The Kubacak Vineyards Sangiovese Classico from the Texas High Plains is a meaty, savory red, infused with white pepper aromas. Medium-bodied with intense character, it shows hints of pressed wildflowers, green olives, and ends with a very dry finish.

Llano Estacado

Le Claret Classique Red Blend

The 2021 Le Claret Classique Red Blend combines 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 24% Merlot into a super savory wine. It opens with notes of peppered charcuterie, black olive, black licorice, and tanned leather, all framed by burly tannins. The wine builds beautifully from medium- to full-bodied, with a long finish that lingers for over a half-minute.

Llano Estacado

Fume Blanc

The Llano Estacado Fumé Blanc, a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc from the Texas High Plains, strikes a balance between richness and precision. Barrel aging imparts a touch of depth, while the wine remains focused and linear. Pressed white floral notes, subtle baking spice character, and hints of Texas prairie grass define the profile. The bone-dry finish underscores its elegance.

Llano Estacado

Rosé

Produced by Jason Centanni, this rosé is a delicate blend of 91% Cinsault and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. Extremely light and almost ethereal, it offers a refreshing and easy-to-drink profile. A saline thread of minerality runs through the wine, bolstered by bracing acidity and subtle red-toned fruit notes. Vibrant, understated, and captivating.
