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. — 4 years ago

Provisioner

Proprietary Red Blend 2017

This is now a vintage red table wine, the “non-vintage” and “proprietary” elements in the label are gone. This was the only Arizona wine available at the local Trader Joe’s, so relatively cheap. But how does it rate? Brick red, light to moderate pigment extraction. Cherry and black currant notes in nose. Soft, ripe red fruit flavors, primarily cherry and raspberry, slightly tart finish. Later, strawberry jam and plum flavors emerge. Not bad for a basic red table wine, great value. A good reminder here: You never go wrong drinking local. — 5 years ago

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.

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. — 4 years ago

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. — 5 years ago
