William Chris Vineyards, Texas Hill Country (Texas) Mourvèdre 2018

May 10, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Texas is now the fifth-largest wine-producing state behind California, Washington, New York, and Oregon.  In the past several years the Texas wine industry has garnered significant attention, and William Chris Vineyards is doing its part to advance Texas as a major player in the American wine industry.  William Chris Vineyards focuses on low intervention, 100% Texas-grown wine.  Their 2018 Mourvèdre is effusive with a lovely bouquet of rosemary, sage, black cherries, tomato leaf, and forest floor.  It is full-bodied with approachable tannins complemented by palate-refreshing acidity.  Hints of pepper and a leathery finish complete the show.
