Tasting Notes
Medium-bodied, dry, and boldly spicy, with firm tannins and great acidity. This wine is a well-balanced savory spice-bomb with a thick underlay of ripe red fruit. The wine's robust texture will hold it over time as it develops into a more earthy wine.

The Vineyard
AVA: Texas High Plains
Alta Loma Vineyard is a spectacular growing site in Terry County, owned and farmed by the Burran and Floyd families. Established in 2016 with fewer than 10 acres of Syrah and Sangiovese, they have since planted two more varieties that have proven sustainability in the region, including Mourvèdre. Their sandy loam soil is well-drained, suited to the hardy varieties they've selected to plant.
