2015 Nice Wines The Vixen Red Blend Review
This wine hails from one of my favorite Texas based vintners - The Nice Winery - located on the west side of Houston. The winemakers, Ryan and Ian, are two of the friendliest, knowledgeable and hospitable people I have met in this industry and if you ever get a chance to visit them I highly recommend it. Their wine club is pretty badass too!
Alright so enough ball patting. This is a red blend with two of my fav varietals - grenache and malbec. These two go together like a Gillette razor and a return receipt. In da nostrils, I get mint and cranberry that talk to me like I'm about to receive bad news. They say, "We need to talk..." but I'm all like, "Nah." Turns out all they wanted to tell me was you're gonna like what happens next.
In da mouf, I got some peppery spice and turtle berries that were calm but noticeable. The finish is slightly tart but I'd rather that than some sugary bullshit explosion that tells me the vintners are GARBAGE HACKS!
I didn't quite take it to a 3.5 because some of their other products far outperform this one for a very similar price. I think this is a great wine that you can drink while you tell your significant other they don't need to lose weight...WINK! Try it!
