Smokin' Jacket

2012 Arizona 50% Mourvedre 50% Cabernet Sauvignon

Page Springs Cellars Smokin' Jacket is a captivating red wine from Arizona, skillfully crafted with a balanced blend of fifty percent Mourvedre and fifty percent Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage showcases an inviting deep ruby hue that hints at its rich character. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied, offering a harmony of flavors that intertwine the bold, dark fruit notes of ripe blackberries and plums with subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the wine's overall structure and keeping it lively. Tannins are present but lend a smooth, firm quality rather than overwhelming the fruit profile. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for gatherings or cozy evenings. Overall, the Smokin' Jacket presents an enticing experience that celebrates the unique terroir of the Arizona region while bringing together the best characteristics of both varietals.

Arizona is an emerging and diverse winegrowing region in the southwestern United States. Spanning high desert plateaus and rugged mountains, Arizona's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a wide array of terroir. The high elevation and arid climate play a major role in shaping Arizona's vineyards, with cool nights and warm days allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The diverse soils, ranging from volcanic to sandy loam, contribute to the unique character of Arizona's wines. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, while further down, richer, bolder wines are produced. Arizona's growing wine industry is gaining recognition for its distinctive and high-quality wines that reflect the unique environmental conditions of the region.
