Sourced from the One Way Vineyard in Floyd County, this medium-bodied Dolcetto showcases generous red fruit flavors alongside savory, meaty notes of leather, tobacco, and pressed violets. The ripe, burly tannins provide structure, resolving through a juicy and satisfying finish. Stylish and well-built, this Dolcetto offers good balance of fruit, earthiness, and tannic intensity.

This Syrah from the Alta Loma Vineyard in Terry County offers enticing candied red berry fruits, currant jelly, and pastille notes on the nose. Medium-bodied, it features crunchy acidity and ripe, soaring tannins that provide structure. The wine resolves with sweet baking spices and savory clove.

This old vine Sauvignon Blanc from Dell Valley Vineyard in Hudspeth County offers a light- to medium-body, with citrus and subtle orchard fruit undertones, all complemented by intriguing high-toned spices. The palate is balanced and vibrant, finishing with a distinctive chalky minerality.
From the Fire Oak Vineyard in Mills County, this red blend of 75% Mourvèdre and 25% Carignan is juicy, full-bodied, and layered with crunchy red fruit flavors and sweet spices, complemented by the distinctive character of dried wild herbs. The wine’s juicy acidity brings tension and freshness to the finish.

The Fire Oak Vineyard Carignan from Mills County is a medium-bodied red, offering tart red fruit flavors with a touch of pomegranate seed crunch. The wine is framed by crunchy tannins and accented by flamed orange peel notes on the dry finish.

The La Valentía 100% Grenache, sourced from Bounty Harvest Vineyard in Gaines County, sits just outside the Texas High Plains AVA but benefits from its high-altitude terroir at 3,500 feet. Grown in sandy loam and caliche (limestone) soils, the wine undergoes a 5-day cold soak in stainless steel with gentle pumpovers before aging for 12 months in neutral French oak with bâtonnage. This Grenache shows ripe, pure red berry fruit complemented by brown baking spice notes. Medium-bodied, it is framed by firm, grippy tannins with a chocolaty edge, leading to a finish highlighted by blood orange acidity and a distinctively salty, crushed granite minerality.

The Fire Oak Vineyard, located in Mills County just north of the Texas Hill Country border, produces this blend of 55% Carignan and 45% Mourvèdre, which is brimming with bright red-toned fruits and a savory baking spice character. Medium-bodied, the wine offers mocha-rich, fine-grained tannins that provide structure, with candied red berry fruit carrying through to a rich, satisfying finish. A well-rounded and flavorful expression of these two varieties.
