NEW MEXICO ROJO SECO

NEW MEXICO ROJO SECO Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Our first venture into grape wines - with a twist. Starting with a fine New Mexico Syrah, we added 11% of our Wild Cherry wine to create an exceptional big red wine. The blend was aged on oak for over a year for a rich, smooth finish.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
