2022 The Superior Texan
Texas High Plains AVA · Grown from the High Plains
The 2022 Texas High Plains season challenged both vines and vintners with over 30 days of 100°F-plus temperatures and under two inches of rainfall. The result was lower yields but fruit with exceptional intensity and character. This 62% Sangiovese, 32% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon blend, barrel-aged for 18 months in alternative oak, captures the vintage's resilience, offering a bold structure and smooth refinement.
