Cochise County, Arizona

Arizona Stronghold Vineyard

Nachise Cochise County Red Rhone Blend 2023

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a tasty and easy drinking GSM blend from Arizona. Tangy and spicy. Nicely balanced and feels like a California Grenache blend.

Needed 30 minutes to open up and bring out the pretty nose, showing more red fruits as it opens up.

At this point, the Grenache and Mourvedre are more prominent than the Syrah. I really loved the nose here.

Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years and see how it evolves.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with a cheese board.

Grapes are grown at high elevation. A blend of 54% Syrah, 29% Mourvedre and 17% Grenache. Aged in (15% new) oak barrels for 15 months. A small production of less than 5,500 bottles.

89 points.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

$23.

Pink Wine Garnacha Rosé Blend

73/13/7/5/2 blend of Garnacha, Syrah, Monastrell, Graciano and Piquepoul Blanc. Pink to red rose petal in color (it’s not just the artwork) light cherry aroma, Good tangerine-cherry-white pepper flavor consistent with two main red varietals here. Not quite bone dry but close. Nice acidity and mineral finish. Muted flavors overall but a fine wine for sipping on a hot day. Paired so well with a Bianco Verde pizza al fresco last week at Pizzeria Bianco that I went out and bought a bottle. — 5 years ago

Cochise County Red Blend 2016

Brilliant purple red in color. Red raspberry gummies, floral and mango notes in nose. Gamay like flavors - tutti frutti, cherry and butter - but actually a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Petit Sirah. Light, fruit forward. According to AZ Central, a collaboration between Brent Karlicek of Upward Projects and Eric Glomski of Page Springs Cellars and Arizona Stronghold, Exclusively available at Il Postino wine cafe — 8 years ago
