For context, I enjoy every wine Hudson puts out. I’ve enjoyed visits to their stunning property (a must visit even if wine isn’t your thing; the grounds/farm/garden are stunning) and have enjoyed a few laughs with Lee. I wasn’t aware this existed until my visit back in ‘24 and decided to finally open it when TX broke the 100 degree mark this summer.

100% Grenache

Deeper color then your typical Napa rosé but not full-on Tavel/deep saignee style. Aromatics of spiced dragonfruit, and rhubarb. Nervy acidity. Very Grenache-like with the spiced fruit profile continuing on to the palate…pink peppercorn, little green-ness but more from an herbs-type profile and not pyrazines. Fleshy black-cherries with nice texture. Not quite a pool-pounder but also not quite a contemplative style. In-between. Most importantly, tasty and refreshing in the heat of TX summers.

(Westborn’s new Weatherford sparklers are insane values, by the way. So freaking good) — 3 months ago

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 5 years ago

I think I have two more bottles and I’m desperately hoping that’s the case. Bought during a fabulous visit in ‘24 and a worthy replacement to Aubert (I love Aubert, but pricing is getting tough).

This was one of the wines I served for my annual WWC hosting. All wines served blind.

One of Hudson’s single block offerings from their famous vineyard. Everything you love about Hudson Chardonnays is here (rich, opulent, herb crusted yellow fruits) is here but the complexity is dialed up a touch. Yellow-gold in the glass. Initially a reductive funk aromatic but it dissipated and reversed a toasted marshmallow note I commonly get with Marcassin. Yellow fruits galore on the palate with wave after wave of flavor. Lemon cream, baking spices, salted croissant, all dance with good acidity and a lengthy finish. I’m always of the belief that Hudson fruit is at its prime when fresh, so don’t miss this window over the next few years. So good. — 6 months ago

Eric Bordelet is the acknowledged Cider Master from the Loire valley in Normandy (Mayenne). The colour of amber beer. This cider is made from a blend of 19 apple varieties including bitter, sweet and acidic varieties. Aromas of mouldy apple (unsurprisingly) Palate is intense yet refreshing with stewed apple and low acid. Fine bubbles. Only 6% ABV and very enjoyable. — a year ago
