Playa Roja

2023 Arizona Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Petite Sirah

The Arizona Stronghold Vineyards Playa Roja is a sensational red blend from the dynamic winegrowing region of Arizona, showcasing an intricate symphony of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, and Petite Sirah. The 2023 vintage brings forward vibrant, handpicked grapes that engage the senses with their deeply-rooted flavors. On the nose, enchanting aromas of dark berries, warm spice, and a touch of vanilla create an inviting prelude to a tasting experience. On the palate, the wine reveals a full body with well-structured tannins, which enhance its depth and complexity. Rich notes of blackberry, plum, and subtle peppery undertones give way to a bright, lively finish that lingers. The fusion of varietals manifests a fruit-forward profile, beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity, making it a wonderful companion to hearty meals and special occasions. This Arizona gem stands as a testament to the region's winemaking prowess, leaving a memorable impression with every sip.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
