Our new vintage of Ranger Hays is packed with aromas of plum, fresh jam and anise. This specific vintage has excellently integrated tannins and a tart finish, bringing a refreshing edge to the wine.

Ranger John C. “Jack” Hays first surveyed what is now known as Becker Vineyards in the mid-1800's. Later, he made his profession as a Texas Ranger, renowned for his efforts settling the Texas frontier. The artwork depicts his famous stand-off against a Comanche War Party, at nearby Enchanted Rock. Malbec, Tannat, and Petit Verdot create the dark fruit backbone, creating a wine as captivating as its inspiration.

This iconic wine that has such a special plaace in all of our hearts makes its way in our 12 Days of Christmas inspired bundle. The small, inky berries of the Petit Verdot provide the intensely rich color and depth while the Malbec lends bright acidity and fruit forwardness. The strong tannic structure will allow this wine to age for some time as the spiced notes and fruit mature. We strongly urge you to buy multiple bottles, drink now and lay the others down for up to 10 years. We recommend a minimum of 30 minutes decanting.
