Tropical, creamy, complex... lasso up this rare Texas white!
- Randy's a country boy that likes richly flavored Sauvignon Blancs – and deep in the heart of Texas, he found the perfect fruit to make you a great one!
- So what's it like? Tropical and creamy - it's got rich complexity like a Chardonnay, zippy citrus flavor, and a solid dose of southern charm.
- Your funding helps guys like Randy cowboy up and make wines no one else in the world can. Take home a real Texas treat – you deserve it.
Best before
I am actually very interested in how this wine will age. I expect this wine to drink well for another 15 years.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Randy Hester
Years Angel-funded: 2016-17
- When the Napa Earthquake struck Randy's barrel storage, he lost an unimaginable amount of wine. Angels rallied around this talented young winemaker and gave him the money he needed to make it to the next vintage and he is eternally grateful for your support!
- Randy spent years behind the curtain producing wine at some of the most enigmatic cult wineries in California that have people waiting in line for years to spend $100+ a bottle. Now he runs his own successful wine company, Lightning Wines, and splits his time between CA and his home state of Texas.
- He learned from legends of the wine world that the secret to producing great wines has much more to do with finding great fruit that can speak for itself than it does with the marketing hype.
