Full of dark fruits with consistent finish. I think it needs more time to open up for smoother flavor. — 6 months ago
So smooth and so clean with the slightly salty Valle Guadeloupe taste. A unique and sophisticated blend. — 2 years ago
Highly underrated. Has nice fruit and leather on the palate. Not quite a sanjo, not quite a cab, as described. It’s got the traditional hints of both. Extremely smooth.
If you put this in front of someone who prefers Italian wines, it might confound them. It certainly won’t meet muster for a Napa Cab lover, but the notes are there nonetheless. — a month ago
Had the 2022 in January of 2024 with chicken tinga. What a nice little wine. Minerality and a touch of citrus with some floral on the nose. Hints of lime on the tongue and a hint of hibiscus on the nose. This was a lot like a New Zealand sauv blanc but with a softer punch. Enjoyed this and wondering about going through the hassle of obtaining this one again. Definitely would if it was easier to get. — 2 years ago
Massive wine, huge flavor, judicious oak. Usually wines like this would be goopy but this is not. — 24 days ago
Dark, glass-clinging purple with near black core. Inviting nose and full palate of natural blueberry jam (without canning sugar) and drying blackberries. Medium acidity and medium minus tannins lend support to an otherwise "chonky" mouthfeel. Finish is brief and a wee bit Louisville slugger. My first wine from Mexico (Guadeloupe Valley, Baja California) turns out to be a quite satisfying drink. Not a blockbuster by any means, but well within typical style for the variety from a warm climate. And a good value at twelve bucks. Drink within the year with meatloaf now or burgers from the grill next cookout. — a month ago

Characteristic wine from Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico. Expressive dark fruits, spicy, earthy and a jammy edge. Pairs perfectly with the corn, beans and mole in Mexican dishes. No wonder why they call Mexican wines the next Tequila! Want to learn more about wines from Valle de Guadalupe?
