Becker Vineyards "Texas Iconoclast", 2001

[hotwine]

Named for the late Tony Bell, an artist of the Texas Hill Country, this wine by his long-time friends Richard and Bonnie Becker of Fredericksburg, TX, is an honest Cab with excellent variental character - soft, supple fruit, sufficient tannins to give it modest legs, and about a 3-lapper finish (in WW's lingo). Served with barbecued brisket, red spuds, cole slaw, buttermilk rolls. 13% ABV and all of $8.48 at local Sam's Club. Wishin' more Texas wines were of this QPR.
