Nice ripe fruit like cherry and raspberry. Nice acidity. A little earthy. This is a perfect summer red. — 6 years ago
Otro gran Toscano que acompañe con galletas y queso crema de champiñones, aunque iría muy bien con ese plato griego Musaka, que lleva berenjenas, carne molida y queso, sobre todo recalentado, una delicia, este vino joven bien equilibrado con más de tres variedades distintas: sangiovese, carbenet sauvignon y uvas nativas, color purpura intenso, notas a frutos negros, especies, pimienta negra, en boca redondo frutos negros y rojos especies vino suave bien logrado, saludos #winelovers #pisco #Peru #Lima — 7 years ago
Must be my go-to wine for carne asada tacos. Nice petite sirah without being a fruit bomb with a nice structure to let it stand up to our tacos. — 9 years ago

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! — 10 months ago

Gamey and smokey enough to work very well with carne asada tonight. Tannins very well resolved, and doesn't taste like the advertised 14.9 ABV — 9 years ago

The 2015 nose is so incredibly inviting and it totally follows through on the palette, bursting with berries. Superb accompaniment to carne asada steak or adamant pasta with red peppers and ewephoria cheese. — 5 years ago

Realmente um Gran Malbec! Final extremamente longo, sabores e aromas que se desenvolvem e evoluem a medida que o vinho se oxigena. Perfeito com carne assada (cupim). Um vinho excepcional! — 8 years ago
