The Stronghold

Concha y Toro

Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Boy, that was a different Cab Sauv! Jammy like a Shiraz with thick, warm, sweet undernotes. Had depth and complexity and finished with a firm stronghold on your throat. Strangest Cab ever. Maybe should give it a higher rating… — 2 years ago

Tazi White Blend 2019

79/13/6/2 blend of Malvasia Bianca, Muscat, Viognier and Riesling. Pale white in color, sparkling clarity. Floral notes in nose, almost dry, peach, nectarine, spice and lemon flavors in finish. Fairly crisp, match with food or just sip. Slight mineral and astringency in aftertaste. Respectably tasty — 3 years ago

Downtown

Cochise County Red Blend 2016

Brilliant purple red in color. Red raspberry gummies, floral and mango notes in nose. Gamay like flavors - tutti frutti, cherry and butter - but actually a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Petit Sirah. Light, fruit forward. According to AZ Central, a collaboration between Brent Karlicek of Upward Projects and Eric Glomski of Page Springs Cellars and Arizona Stronghold, Exclusively available at Il Postino wine cafe — 7 years ago

"Dala" Merlot 2018

Lighter extract, interesting style of #merlot from #arizona. Wild cherry, some darker bramble fruit and leather aromas. Drinks like a young soft Nebbiolo with bright acidity, medium tannins but no tar notes, fading into a long chewy finish. — 3 years ago

Keeling Schaffer Vineyard Clone 877 Syrah 2017

It's been a long time since I have had an American Syrah that tasted like the Rhone Valley. Great nose with a hint of old world tomato and bbq tastes. FROM arizona!!!! Sharing at Arizona Stronhold tasting room in Cottonwood. With Aly and wife — 5 years ago

Château Saint-Roch

Chimères Cotes du Roussillon Villages Grenache Blend 2013

100+ year old vines from the foot of Château de Quéribus, the last Cathar stronghold, and probably the most epic looking castle ever (seriously, look at it, google images...). Jeb Dunnuck scored less than ten 2013 Chateauneuf du Papes higher than this, and for good reason. This is what I imagine strawberry shortcake would taste like if you were some how able to commission Pierre Hermé to pull one together on-the-fly for you. Hedonistic and raw, but with rounded edges. Just as you think you've wrapped your head around it, it turns a corner and unveils something new. True to Roussillon, hedonistic, honest, better than any Cotes du Rhone I've ever tasted, and at less than $20, it's simply one of greatest values possible in all wine. — 8 years ago

@Shawn G. Rose I'm just guessing here, but I would doubt many, if any, of the Delectable's retail partners can ship to Texas. The TABC has the state on lockdown. Louisiana is more lax, but there are plenty of retailers who don't ship to LA. Unlike Texas, I think it's just a matter of paying the fee to the state for the license. And I think some retailers just make the business decision not to. There's probably more nuance to the law, but any further research will have me pulling a cork much to early today.
