La Sobrina's Table

2008 New Mexico 20% Cabernet Sauvignon / 50% Merlot / 30% Cabernet Franc

Casa Rondena La Sobrina's Table is a beautifully crafted red blend that embodies the essence of New Mexico's unique terroir. Composed of twenty percent Cabernet Sauvignon, fifty percent Merlot, and thirty percent Cabernet Franc, this wine showcases a medium-bodied profile that is both smooth and inviting. The wine displays a vibrant garnet color, enticing with its rich aromatic notes of dark cherry, plum, and subtle hints of blackberry intertwined with earthy undertones. Its well-balanced acidity provides a fresh and lively mouthfeel, making it food-friendly and enjoyable on its own. The tannins are present but elegantly structured, lending a soft grip that complements the wine's fruit intensity, which is prominent yet not overwhelming. The dryness of this vintage enhances its versatility, making it an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes or a delightful sip by itself.

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.
