Austin Winery’s Texas Work Horse or The Violet Crown for Summertime Weddings
Austin Winery's Texas Work Horse and The Violet Crown.
“The Work Horse is a blend of merlot and malbec sourced from the High Plains of Texas featuring fruity aromas followed by earthy spice: watermelon, black pepper; dark and rich with a chalky finish. The alcohol is only 12.7 percent, which is very reasonable, especially in the heat of summer."
“The Violet Crown is a Rhone-style blend of grapes from California's Amador County, showcasing balanced floral notes—lavender and orange blossom—blackberries, cherries, and smooth, velvety tannins with a touch of chocolate on the finish. It has a great complexity, [and is] extremely versatile in its pairings with pork, chicken, and red meat.”
