The wine region of Texas
5th US producer with a Mediterranean style suited to the heat. Signature Tempranillo as red: fleshy and fruity with notes of ripe cherry, plum and sweet spices, round tannins. Also dense Tannat, spicy Mourvèdre, juicy Sangiovese, peppery Syrah. Suited aromatic whites: full Viognier (apricot, flowers), saline Vermentino, lively Albariño.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
