Alximia, Valle de Guadalupe (Mexico) 2012

Mar 2, 2016

By Rich Cook

This blend of Carignane and Garnacha succeeds in the food friendly category, presenting a dry style with aromas and flavors of black cherry, blueberry, pepper, fall spice and dry earth, with complementary charred oak that adds interest without taking over.  This is a region that is steadily upping its game and is worth a visit.  Well done!  A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
