Viñas de Garza 2007 Colina Norte Red (Valle de Guadalupe)
- $54
Tight, earthy and focused up front, this has attractive berry and cola aromas. It feels jammy, flush and lush, then tastes equally jammy and rich, with plum and berry flavors that seem baked and warm. Candied tasting on the finish, but fresh enough in feel. This is a blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Carignan.

L.A. Cetto 1996 Private Reserve Nebbiolo (Valle de Guadalupe)
- $18
The color is appropriately light, the aromas appropriately floral and rose-like. Fleshy cherry flavors are balanced by a helping of greens and flowers. Light and elegant. Who would’ve thought Nebbiolo like this could come from Mexico?

La Lomita 2009 Singular Red (Valle de Guadalupe)
- $40
Roasted berry, dry oak, bacon, leather, graphite and spice aromas come together on the nose. It feels jammy, thick and chewy, with full tannins setting up flavors of baked berry and molasses. It finishes similarly, with a rich, full texture and a candied flavor. This is a blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 10% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Viñas Pijoan 2009 Doménica Red (Valle de Guadalupe)
- $22
This is light on the nose, with almost airy aromas of raspberry and cherry. Fuller and more grabby in the mouth, it has firm tannins and sweet flavors of berry and cherry darkened by a toasty accent. A little fiery on the finish, it has mild heat that food will tame.
