We were introduced to some great Mexican wines a few months back when we explored Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California. Monte Xanic makes some excellent wines. This is their entry Bordeaux blend of fifty fifty Cab and Merlot. The Merlot comes from their higher, cooler valley (Valle de Ojo), the Cab from the warmer Valle Guadalupe. It made a very interesting wine. The dark red vibrant fruit upfront from the Merlot and the dark earthy lingering finish from the Cab. Both very much in sync with each other. — 2 years ago
Pale pink/orange color, medium, slightly oily body with a prominent floral nose, with notes of orange blossom, slight baking notes and mandarin citrus, with a somewhat deep, underlying funk hidden in the background. Palate has prominent citrus, slightly underripe lemon and acidity from the start, with a slightly creamy finish with hints of watermelon rind and a subtle minerality that stays with you on a lingering finish. It’s very good, but I don’t know if it’s for all that often. — 2 years ago

Really nice red! Looks like a “Pinot”, but is more like a dry Cabernet. Maybe a little light and short, but has nice flavor to coincide with the earthy dryness. From Wine Insiders. Tasted 11 November 2022. — 2 years ago

Decant. Spicy berries, red and white peppercorns. Good texture. A little disjointed but the 3rd day it’s a good bbq food wine. SDWC — 9 days ago
