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
“Ojo Gallo’, Castellano for ‘rooster eye’ (in other words, what the French call ‘oeil de perdrix’), hearkens back to the traditional clarete style of the region. This dark rosé (light red?) is a field blend of very old vines of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, Monastrell, Viura, Albillo and Malvasia co-fermented in cement and raised for 8 months in used barrels before bottling without added sulfur” — 3 years ago
