  The name Enchanté has signified quality wine from Williams and Chris and served as a flagship brand ambassador since the very early days. As one of the winery’s initial blends, it is one red wine release you always look forward to every year. Primarily sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in the Texas Hill Country (Granite Hill Vineyards of Bell Mountain AVA) this vintage blend of 76% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec can hold its’ own against many well-known wines from Bordeaux. Is it a big claim to make? Yes, but this is a BIG wine to brag about too. The unprecedented Texas drought of 2011 certainly played a large part in enriching the grapes flavors. However, it’s that magic winemaking touch of owners Bill and Chris that sealed the deal. The ruby color is an eye catcher and you will be instantly hooked by the alluring cherry aromas. Dark berries, plums, and a touch of spice envelop your taste buds in an Eden of joy. It’s still very well balanced with moderate tannins and will hold its’ own for many years to come. A keeper and sipper for your wine family to enjoy if you still happen to have any bottles left in your wine cellar. Die-hard William Chris fans know and recognize this wine as classic quality and a definite go to bottle for a fantastic wine experience. You know what to say now!

  Very good Texas wine, dark berry with medium to heavy body.
