The 2023 ‘Enchanté’ is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, and 9% Merlot, barrel-fermented and aged for 20 months in partially new French oak. Richly aromatic, it opens with cassis and dark berry fruit, interlaced with fragrant dark cedar and a subtle hint of dark amber syrup. The full-bodied palate is lush yet structured, framed by noble, generous tannins. Tobacco leaf and sagebrush undertones mingle with a penetrating backbone of saline and wet-slate minerality, leading to a lingering note of cocoa powder spice and a lift of blood orange juiciness. William Chris Vineyards, founded in 2008 by William "Bill" Blackmon and Chris Brundrett, is based outside Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country. Grapes for this Enchanté came from the winery’s Uplift Vineyard and Govel Family Vineyard in Burnet and Gillespie counties, respectively. Just 1,200 cases produced.
