Past Issues:
Texas Wine Pick: apr/may 2000
 This
Bordeaux blend is 75% Cabernet and 25% Merlot,
and 100% yummy! Rich, full-bodied, and elegant,
with a generous helping of toasty oak, this
is an impressive wine. Cherry and plum flavors
are very nicely balanced by rich dark chocolate
and a minty edge. Clean finish. Will stand
up very well to even the heartiest of foods
– think pepper-crusted steaks, barbecue,
venison stew. Drinking very nicely now,
and should age beautifully for years to
come.
Background: Messina Hof Wine
Cellars was officially established when
they released their first vintage in 1983.
However, the rich wine heritage of Winemaker
Paul Bonarrigo dates back six generations
to Messina, Sicily.
