Purple Cowboy Tenacious Red 2010


By CHRIS and SHERRY HARDIE
Not everyone falls off their horse one day and becomes a winemaker. That is unless you are Terry Wheatley.
Wheatley and her family have long been a part of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
She’s also a breast cancer survivor who came up with the Tough Enough to Wear Pink breast cancer awareness campaign at rodeos.
Wheatley also worked in the wine industry, and her inspiration for this Paso Robles, Calif., blend was inspired by her belief that all cowboys drink purple or dark red wines. It’s a blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and merlot that offers very tame tannins and plenty of fruit.
Sherry: “Smooth and medium-bodied with flavors of black currant and cherry.” (3 stars)
Chris: “Black licorice and black cherry flavors with a bit of cocoa on the finish.” (3 stars)
Available locally for about $10.
Coming next week: Fünf
