Elisa Christopher Wines Amélie Bordeaux-style Red Blend 2023

On the nose you get aromas of dark plum, dark cherry and leather, the mouthfeel is soft tannins, and soft bright finish. An elegant wine perfect to bring for drinks on the porch or for an elegant dinner. 32% New French oak, 68% Neutral oak, all Texas High Plains fruit. 93 Pts, Cristaldi & Co. Jonathan Cristaldi describes Amelie as “It’s a soft, plush, medium- to full-bodied red that builds on classic Texas wild herb character—a heady mix of black tea, bay laurel, sagebrush, and scrubrush—all intertwined and framing juicy dark cherry and spiced plum fruit, with hints of pomegranate and blood orange zest. The wild herb and fruit notes linger beautifully on the finish. Pair it with barbecue slathered in rich, honey-mustard sauce, or serve slightly chilled alongside hard cheeses.” 91 Pts Wine Enthusiast - Elisa Christopher Wines 2023 Amélie Bordeaux-style Red Blend (Texas High Plains). This Bordeaux-style blend delivers bright plum, dark raspberry, wildflower and herb mélange aromas on the nose. The palate is silky textured, with smooth tannin, fresh acidity, and flavors of baked cherry, cinnamon, milk chocolate, and violets that lift the finish.
