2. 2015 is one of Dr. Bob Young's favorite vintages of this wine, maybe even is fave. Although the 2010 that won the San Fran Double Gold probably is tops. #TXwine #cabernetsauvignon

3. 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Newsom Vineyards: 100% Cabernet, 100% #flashdetente, 100% New American Oak, 100% Texas High Plains. #txwine

Flash Détente thermovinification heats the grapes to short of pasteurization point before a vacuum chamber that flash cools them in seconds. The process explodes the vacuoles in the skins of the grapes, extracting nearly 100% color and tannin. #txwine #flashdetente

4. 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon notes FL for “flash”. Those extracted tannins are well suited to handle the 100% New American oak (Dr. Bob is a Kentucky native). It’s a component. Not the star. That would be the fruit.

It sure does! It's a great tool to have, especially in wet years like 2016 and part of 2015 harvest. You know we like to get geeky with our #TXwine. 🤓

I was just looking at the wines I tasted with @VintageTexas for the Specialist in Texas Wine class that was held in June 2018 at Bending Branch Winery. Among MANY other #txwine-s, we got to taste 3 2015 Cabs grown by N. Newsom but made by diff producers 1/2...

2/2 #txwine The wines were made by Pedernales Cellars, Bending Branch Winery and CALAIS Winery. That was a special day!! Then we took a field trip to Bending Branch Winery and heard a lecture by Dr. Bob. So memorable. Changed my mind about Texas Cabernet Sauvignon.
