Our Rosé Wine

2017 Dog Days Rosé-TX
20.00
A few years ago rosé was passé and “so 1970’s”, now it’s everywhere. With good reason we say! While the popular colors tend towards pink, we expose our wine a bit longer to the red grape skins of our outstanding blend of Texas High Plains grown Mourvèdre, Tannat, Montepulciano and Sagrantino fruit to bring you this rich and robust “scotch-hued” beauty. It is semi-dry, fruity and robust! A SILVER MEDAL winner at the 2018-19 Texas International Wine Competition!
Our Stupendous Red Wines
We’ve gone to great lengths to source the finest TX and CA grapes to blend these creative and limited production Red Wines. All our wines are vinted and bottled in Texas.
2016 Texas Tempranillo
25.00
One of our flagship wines, this Tempranillo, was created from the grapes of one of Texas’ premier vineyards, Newsom Vineyards, on the Texas High-Plains. The #1 wine grape in Spain and the 4th most planted world-wide, Tempranillo is making serious in-roads on to Texas vineyards and in to TX wine. Smooth and dry with notes of plum, cherry, leather and tobacco this wine is on its way to being the premier varietal in Texas! A GOLD MEDAL winner at the 2018-19 Texas International Wine Competition!
2015 Cactus Dodger Red-TX
19.00
This creatIve deep red blend of Texas-grown Petite Sirah, Anglianico and Cinsaut is the perfect remedy to cure just about any dilemma left nagging at you at the end of a long day. Medium-dry and richly colored this blend will present tones of blackberries, blueberries, dry herbal notes and fragrant rosemary. Pairs beautifully with southern Italian dishes. A SILVER MEDAL winner at the 2018-19 Texas International Wine Competition!
2014 Double Trouble-CA
19.00
California Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet team up to provide the crimson red depth and complexity insuring trouble (if by “trouble” we mean a great, great wine we plead guilty). You’ll love the color, the nose and the finish of this one as you catch hints of spice, black fruit and a smooth eathiness that leave you wanting more.
2015 Ruby-Eyed Red-CA
28.00
This is our pèice de résistance! A blend of CA Sagrantio, Tinta Cao and Petite Sirah oak-aged for several years and placed it for three months in freshly used whiskey barrels from the renowned Garrison Brothers distillery. Garrison Bros. produces a remarkable straight bourbon from oak barrels that we secure as soon as possible after the whiskey is dumped to quickly seat our blends and wait for the magic to happen. A SILVER MEDAL winner at the 2018-19 Texas International Wine Competition!
Why “ Cicada”?
Cicadas have been noted throughout history as harbingers of good luck and are synonymous with the lazy days of summer, so much so that the most common variety found (and heard) in Texas is the Dog Day Cicada. The song of these critters is the background noise of summer as grapes grow, ripen and are prepared to create the gift that is wine.
Distinctly crafted, small batch wines.
We are small and artisinally focused so our wines will reflect a creative sense of adventure and fun. We want to take you to experiences unlike the “standards” of Cabs, Pinots, Malbecs and Chardonnay wines. Producing small (limited) quantities of each blend allows us the flexibility and freedom to not be boxed-in with contracts for quantities of grapes that simply don’t work for us (or you). We like small.
