Arizona Stronghold Vineyard

Aridus Wine Company

Limited Production Viognier 2020

Light golden in color with a very aromatic nose.

Ful bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and spicy. Soft and smooth.

Showing citrus, yellow apples, spices, pears, ginger, light marzipan and herbs.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

This is a tasty Viognier from Arizona. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.

This 4 year old is surprisingly still fresh. Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had a few vintages of this wine, and my favorite so far was the 2019.

I paired it with steamed Abalone topped with fresh ginger.

13.2% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$40.

Toscano Sangiovese Blend 2016

Spicy cherry and raspberry. Smoked meats, tar, leather but still with punchy fruit. Not quite at the level of the ‘13 El Campo but still nice. — 3 years ago

Primer Paso Cochise County Syrah Malvasia Bianca 2015

Very well balanced blend. Just a touch of fruit with subtle tannins and a delicate, crisp finish. Maybe her new favorite wine. Excellent! — 3 years ago

Pink Wine Garnacha Rosé Blend

73/13/7/5/2 blend of Garnacha, Syrah, Monastrell, Graciano and Piquepoul Blanc. Pink to red rose petal in color (it’s not just the artwork) light cherry aroma, Good tangerine-cherry-white pepper flavor consistent with two main red varietals here. Not quite bone dry but close. Nice acidity and mineral finish. Muted flavors overall but a fine wine for sipping on a hot day. Paired so well with a Bianco Verde pizza al fresco last week at Pizzeria Bianco that I went out and bought a bottle. — 3 years ago

Anubis Arizona Red Blend 2015

Tonight I have opened the 2015 Caduceus Anubis Red Blend. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Petit Sirah from Wilcox, AZ hand picked from vineyards at 4300 feet and aged for 18 months in French Oak Casks.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, black pepper, vanilla, cinnamon, alcohol and oak.

On the palate I am finding black cherry, blackberry, green bell pepper, black currant, licorice, baking spice and rich soil.

This wine is medium to full bodied with medium to + acidity and medium + fine tannins that lead into a medium to long dark fruit finish. My first Arizona wine and not too bad. The weekend starts tomorrow so please be safe and have a great time. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Carlson Creek

Rule of Three Syrah Blend 2015

Arizona GSM, 40/20/40 blend, 14% alc/vol. Purple-red, moderate pigment extraction. Butter floral and red fruit aromas. Cherry, berry, cola and black currant flavors, slight seed bitterness and skin astringency on finish. A solid interpretation, not overly ripe vs other similar wines from the same origin. — 4 years ago
