Red dust and whistling winds are the setting at Newsom Vineyards where the grapes in this wine blend were grown. Ruggedly complex like the mystique of a West Texas cowboy, exceptional fruit and bold Texas White Oak intertwine. Texas White Oak is an innovation unique to Bending Branch Winery. Saddle up.
