We’ve coated the wines of Texas’ Marriage ceremony Oak solely as soon as earlier than. Right this moment we’re again with a trio of bottlings from the Hill Nation-based operation.
2024 Marriage ceremony Oak Castanet Rose – Made out of a mix of grapes (although the web site says Cinsault), it is a surprisingly aromatic and fruity wine that balances up-front strawberry and almond notes with late-arriving citrus within the type of lemon and mandarin orange. Gently tropical on the end, with loads of acidity to maintain the palate from ever getting soggy. Bottled at an inexpensive 13.5%. A- / $31
2024 Marriage ceremony Oak Riesling Texas Excessive Plains – Approachable however fairly floral, this racy riesling is laced with white flowers each contemporary and dried, notes of white peaches, lemon curd, and gooseberries layering in fruit and mild acidity because the wine develops. Potpourri notes are persistent and cling closely to the end, providing an fragrant if maybe overly aggressive, flowery conclusion to the expertise. B+ / $32
2023 Marriage ceremony Oak Texitalia – Meant as an Italian-style mix of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Aglianico, it is a pretty dusty, dusky providing heavy on earth and thick with anise and char. Whereas ample notes of cherry and a few raspberry prepared the ground (and nod towards a usually Italian vibe), the wine is aggressively smoky from the beginning. The wine pairs effectively sufficient with heartier dishes like smoked meats, although its comparatively tight palate and brief end don’t fairly hold it propped up over the long run because the wine evolves in glass. B / $37
