South Texas grapes Fresh, fruity flavors of pear, apple, citrus, melon and mineral - delightful patio wine, suited to white cheeses, fish, chicken and salads.
Grapes grown by Dr. Bobby Smith at La Buena Vida, Springtown Off dry with notes of apricot, peach and spice. Complex and suited to high umami foods like crab and shrimp.
Texas High Plains Appellation This Kiss is a little bit sweet, crisp and fruity with Texas-sized 'kisses' of flavors - cherry, apple, cranberry and strawberry. It's perfect on the patio on a hot day, paired with BBQ and Mexican food and, believe it or not, sushi! It delivers a lot of flavor in a lighter wine. It's like a jewel in the glass, rosy and clean. Caris' lip print adorns the label. Come get a Texas kiss!
Texas Chai, our winery mascot, was watching the sun set from her favorite winery perch one day and turned to look at us with this look of complete love and happiness. When we made this blend we looked at each other with that same look, and so Happy Cat was born. A 'tropical dream' with flavors of pineapple, green papaya and mango, it pairs deliciously with blue cheeses and spicy Asian foods like Thai curry and sushi. NEW RELEASE MARCH 2015.
Newsom Vineyard Texas High Plains Appellation Full bodied plum, black cherry, raisin, fig, tobacco, spice.... exceptionally smooth and rich, complex and delicious. Barrel aged for 3 years in a mix of American and French oak.
Newsom Vineyard Texas High Plains Appellation Light color leads to mouth filling flavor of bright cherry, oak and bramble with a black walnut finish. Similar to an Italian Amarone. Winemaker's fave.
Texas High Plains Appellation Simply delicious, this blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot shows deep dark berry and cherry flavors with undertones of vanilla, cedar and warm spices. Very fruit forward and friendly - great couch wine.
Texas Sweet Red Wine. A delicious, fun, sweet red wine - a runaway best seller and multiple GOLD MEDAL winner. Sweet but not too sweet with deep flavors and an unexpected complexity for a less expensive sweet red. Flavors of cherry, caramel, brown sugar, and plum. Pairs great with hot, spicy foods - the sweet balances heat. Named for our dog, Mai, who, when Caris was a home winemaker, loved to lick her arms clean after she'd been working with fermenting wine - she'd sit with such a look we'd say, 'Aren't you a happy dog!'. Now you can be too.
Spiced Red Wine. Infused with warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and orange peel - this wine "tastes like a holiday". It pairs with spicy meats like lamb and venison, and also with pumpkin pie and cheesecake. Take it home and serve it cool (like any red) or warm it up - it's a mulled wine ready for a winter's fire and a snuggle.

Texas Table or Dessert Wine. Infused with peaches and fortified with fine brandy, this wine is a perfect Texas sangria that sits you squarely in a peach orchard surrounded by grapevines on a warm summer day. Often served over crushed ice for a true sangria experience. NEWLY RELEASED May 2014.
We grow some Black Spanish grapes at the winery - our 50 vines produce enough fruit to make one barrel (60 gallons) of wine. Laughing Goddess is made from this wine - barrel aged, fortified with fine brandy and sweetened to a full bodied port level, it tastes of black cherry, plum, a bit of bramble and vanilla. NEWLY RELEASED May 2014.
Texas Dessert Wine. This is a port-style dessert wine that is infused with dark chocolate - it tastes like a chocolate cherry cordial candy. It's a fabulous dessert all by itself - no need to gild the lily. NEW RELEASE - February 2015.
