Cross Timbers Winery

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Jul 26, 2015

Visited this winery the July 4th weekend of 2015. Grapevine is a pretty cool town to visit by the way. I liked the set up of the place as it looks like it is more of an event center for weddings, etc. The grapes come from the Lubbock area as do all the wines we found in the area. I think there is something in the terroir in Lubbock that I need to become accustomed to before I can make a fair assessment. There is a lot of vinifera grown: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Malbec, Syrah, Chardonnay, etc. The wines here and at other tasting rooms in Grapevine sourcing from Lubbock all had a muddy (or something) taste that crowded out the finish on these wines. The sip would start good and then be replaced by this muddy something. I would bet if you're used to these wines you actually appreciate this signature. Unfortunately I am not there yet. My wife, as is usually the case, was more advanced in appreciating the style of these wines. So I gave our rating an average of 3 between her 4 and my 2.
