(aka. Black Spanish)

This red-fleshed grape is a popular variety in Texas, where it is sometimes blended with Ruby Cabernet to make red table wine. It is highly resistant to Pierce’s disease, which makes it a good match for the hot read more...and often humid Texas climate. It thrives best in deep, sandy soils. Originally, Black Spanish was used as a wine at Communion. At one time, along with Mission, Lenoir was one of Texas’s most planted varietals. Acreage in the state is now on the decline, although it still maintains a presence in the state, particularly in the few wineries located near the Gulf of Mexico.

You arrived in the ‘Lone Star State’ to work on a mission. Your duty in life has been simple – to offer your services at Communion. Unknown to you, you possessed a rare and powerful gift. Your dark color was exquisite and your beauty seemed to ooze from under your skin. Though you were not one to focus on such secular obsessions, your missionary fathers were convinced that your beauty had the power to spread ‘the word’ across Texas. Over time, the power of your voice faded in the state. But in areas close to the Mexican border, they still listen to the padre known as ‘Black Spanish’.    (hide)

Solid, dark, port, very sweet. Alcoholic nose (think C3H7OH) with a hint of tannins, but makes up for it with a wood-laden currant aftertaste.

Excellent red table wine. Nice color held up in the light. Just a touch of semi-sweetness, mildly fruity. Very smooth with no dry-mouth sensation. Very refreshing and easy to drink.

One long word! YUMMMY. I was so pleased with this wine, the only down fall is that it is not for everyday at 50.00 a bottle (if you can find it) But well worth the cost for a special ocassion or sharing wine with friends...

I opened and served a bottle of Mangrove Jack Chardonnay and discovered a SPIDER floating in the wine. An australian spider no doubt! I purchased the wine at 'Everything Wine Inc' , Millstream store #580 - #131 2401 C....
