Monte Xanic Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2024

Harmonious and fruit-forward—a classic Valle de Guadalupe blend pairing structure with plush red fruit.

• Tasting Notes: Deep ruby red with purple rim. Expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, black plums, and cherries, accompanied by subtle nuances of rosemary, eucalyptus, cracked black pepper, vanilla, and dark chocolate. Medium-to-full-bodied on the palate, with supple, rounded tannins, well-integrated oak, and a warm, smooth finish.

• Winemaking & Terroir: A traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (bringing backbone and structure) and Merlot (contributing soft, fleshy fruit). Matured in French oak barrels to harmonize fruit concentration and tannin texture.

• Food Pairing: Grilled lamb skewers, carnitas, roast duck, pasta bolognese, burgers, and semi-cured cheeses.
