Reserve

New Mexico Cabernet Sauvignon

Heart of the Desert Reserve is a beautifully crafted Cabernet Sauvignon from the sun-drenched vineyards of New Mexico. This red wine showcases a full-bodied profile with an impressive structure, perfectly balancing its bold flavors with a vibrant acidity that dances on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring rich notes of dark berries, blackcurrant, and hints of plum, complemented by subtle layers of tobacco and spice that add complexity. Tannins are notably firm yet refined, lending a remarkable depth to each sip. This wine is dry, making it a delightful companion for an array of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pastas, and perfectly embodies the unique character of its terroir.

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.
