Close to on one third each Cab, Merlot, and Tempranillo. Pretty mellow tannins for this young wine. Bright, with red fruit in the foreground. From the oldest winery in the Americas.

Roasted blackberry, mingled mint , a handsome nose!
Saline, dark fruit - plum, blackberry, mint, tarragon tingles. Ripe fruit flavors, not cloying, more of the fresh orchard fruit, ripened off the tree.
An excellent Mexican Wine.

Was a great experience for a Mexican wine in Mexico City. Wow, not what I expected. Great nose, with a very purple-black color. Excellent ripe fruits and a good last. Wish I could get this in the states.

Casa Madero – V.3 Red Blend 2013
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tempranillo – Valle de Parras, Coahuila, Mexico 🇲🇽
Overview
Casa Madero holds a unique place in wine history as the oldest winery in the Americas, established in 1597. The V.3 is a flagship blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Tempranillo, showcasing the depth and elegance of Valle de Parras, one of Mexico’s most historic and promising wine regions.
Aromas & Flavors
Dark berries, plum, and cassis layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice. With age, tertiary notes of dried fig, cocoa, and leather add complexity.
Mouthfeel
Rounded and balanced, the 2013 vintage has matured beautifully. Polished tannins integrate seamlessly with a silky texture, giving both structure and finesse. The finish is long, smooth, and deeply satisfying.
Winemaking Notes
Aged in oak, this wine reflects both modern technique and centuries of winemaking heritage. Casa Madero’s use of high-altitude vineyards allows vibrant acidity to balance richness, a hallmark of its style.
Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled ribeye, lamb shanks, or mole negro. For a more traditional match, pair with carne asada or aged Mexican cheeses.
Verdict
A remarkable red blend that not only delivers balance and longevity but also carries the weight of history. The 2013 still shows vitality, proving how Mexican fine wines can age gracefully.
Personal Pick Highlight
Tasting Casa Madero feels like stepping into history — each glass connects back to 1597, when New World winemaking was just beginning. An unforgettable blend of heritage and pleasure. Cheers!

Deep ruby in color; cassis, black plums, and cedar on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blackberries, black cherries, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it.

Jan 18th, 2025Nice cherry aroma, light body, semi-sweet but a bit too watery on its own, better with charcuterie meat.
