2008 Merlot: Bottle: $ 27.95 $ 19.95 (SALE)
This Alcantara Vineyards Merlot is a great demonstration of our high-
2009 Mourvedre: Bottle: $ 32.95
Similar to the 2008 vintage, this Rhone varietal grown here at Alcantara Vineyards shows a wildly vivid nose of black cherry, cola, violets, and cedar, while the palate finishes with an unmistakably Arizona earthy spice.
2008 Syrah: Bottle: $ Sold Out
A blending of 40% Alcantara and 60% Paso 2008 Syrah grapes, this wine has an aromatic nose of clean, dark blackberry fruit accented with rosehips, violet and a light, peppery spice. The palate is soft and weighty, making this Syrah a true crowd pleaser.
Confluence III: Bottle: $ Sold Out
Our best effort to capture the essence of our Verde Valley Vineyard. We layered the great fruit, spice, earth and floral characters we see from our fruit into complex wine also demonstrating the vineyard’s amazing balance and finesse. A field and cellar blend of Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo. High desert wine at it’s finest!
NV Chaparral: Bottle: $ 32.95
Our best effort to replicate delicious 2008 Harvest Blend, this wine showcases the many complex layers we can give a wine through blending with an amazing butterscotch aroma. 38% Alcantara at 32% Mourvedre, 17% Syrah, 17% Petite Syrah, 17% Petite Verdot, 17% Pinot Noir.
2008 Sangiovese: Bottle: $ 32.95
A rustic Sangiovese with a pretty, dark cherry core and layers of orange zest and earth. The palate is smooth and soft with a finish of tight, grippy tannins.
2008 CA Syrah: Bottle: $ 38.95
A warmer vintage in 2008 gave us riper fruit character and more weight on the palate while still retaining that classic Syrah spice. This wine is a great compliment to rich, earthy dishes like lamb, game or even a good shepherds pie.
2008 Petite Sirah: Bottle: $ 44.95
A perfect demonstration of why we love Petite Sirah. This wine harmoniously combines the beautiful characters of lavendar, blackberry and spice with all the big tannin, weight, and oomph you expect from Petite.
2007 Meritage (Bordeaux Blend): Bottle: $ Sold Out
(36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, 18% Malbec)
Meritage is a blend of great structure and balance. Dark cassis and currant flavors are accented by notes of baking spices, lavender and soft tannins in wine that demonstrates the beauty of blending.
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon: Bottle: $ 48.95
This 100% Cabernet combines the ripeness of the vintage with purity, depth, length, and complexity. With notes of cola, spice, and red berries, this full bodied wine gently rounds the mouth with a silky smooth finish. Well balanced from beginning to end!
