Hey Sasha - so, I can't do my homework probably until next year (and I sort of knew this but hadn't checked in a YEAR) Texas grapes statewide were hit with some blight awhile back and all growers basically had to replant. Vines should be ready for next year if all goes well, but right now all TEXAS (not really!) wines are actually made with grapes brought in from, primarily, California. So - I bought a falanghina instead :-)

Hey guys! One clarification -- this wine is actually a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend.
