This weekend we took the opportunity to enjoy a wine produced by Flat Creek Estate. The wine was their Super Texan 2003, produced with the Sangiovese grape. This wine won double gold at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

We liked the wine for its aroma of leather and the fruity taste. Nuances of black cherries and blackberries were noticeable. The wine was a dark purple and the finish offered dense tannins. This wine would pair well with an Italian style dinner particularly spaghetti with a red sauce and other beef entrees. Super Texan was aged in French oak for 18 months.

Flat Creek Estate is located in Texas Hill Country in the town of Marble Falls. When you have the opportunity to visit, plan to enjoy the delightful bistro. The winery also has a guest room available for rent that is truly unique with a spiral staircase and a lovely view of vineyards and countryside.
