Cab-Zin

New Mexico 50% Cabernet - 50% Zinfandel Blend

St Clair Winery's Cab-Zin is an enchanting red blend that beautifully marries the boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the ripe, juicy character of Zinfandel, creating a harmonious and balanced wine. Hailing from the sun-soaked vineyards of New Mexico, this wine boasts a medium body that provides a satisfying mouthfeel, complemented by bright acidity that refreshes the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing delightful layers of black cherry and ripe raspberry, while subtle notes of vanilla and oak from the aging process add depth. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm yet smooth structure that enhances its overall appeal. This captivating wine is dry, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and elegant dining experiences.

New Mexico

New Mexico, with its high desert landscapes and dramatic mountain ranges, offers a unique and diverse winegrowing environment in the American Southwest. The state's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) benefit from the high altitude and the intense sunlight, which together create a significant diurnal temperature variation. This variation sharply cools the vineyards at night, tempering the daytime heat and allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors while retaining essential acids. The arid climate and minimal rainfall reduce the risk of vine diseases and allow vintners to control vine vigor through irrigation. Vineyards at lower elevations tend to produce bolder, more intense wines, while those at higher elevations excel in growing cooler-climate varieties, yielding more delicate and aromatic wines.
