Year after year, our Nice Proprietary Red is awarded at the Houston Rodeo Uncorked Wine Competition. Each year, we feature the 5 noble grape varietals of Bordeaux blended together from our vineyards in Paso Robles. Every vintage is a little different because just like your favorite homemade meal, the recipe is tweaked to perfection depending on the fruit from that year.
This year the blend consists of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Our own nod to the historic and famous wines of Bordeaux, it was aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels. This wine is ready to drink now and does not need decanting. Pair with beef bourguignon or blue cheeses.
