Page Springs 2007 Arizona Stronghold Vineyard Mourvèdre (Cochise County)
-
$33
Well-done in a very exuberant style, with blackberry jam and tar notes layered over animal scents and wood ash. The palate is concentrated and mouthwatering, winding down to a lingering raspberry finish. Serve with hearty fare. May improve with a year or two in the cellar.

Page Springs 2007 Norte Block Arizona Stronghold Vineyard Syrah (Cochise County)
Obvious but highly concentrated with mouth-coating tannins and an appetizing mix of coconut, vanilla and plum flavors. Fairly long, soy-flavored finish. Drink now or hold a year for better integration.

Page Springs 2007 Vino de la Familia Blanca Malvasia Bianca (Cochise County)

$20
Alluring, intense nose of honey, beeswax and hay. The palate continues along a mineral line, with flavors of wet gravel highlighted by crisp acidity. Graham cracker notes peek through on the dry finish. Drink up.

Dos Cabezas 2005 La Montaña Red (Cochise County)
-
$30
Anise, blackberry and heady spice on the nose and palate make this 80% Petite Sirah, 18% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon an appealing choice for a cold winter’s night. The wine has ample structure, but is gentle on the palate, with an elegant, long finish and overall balanced, integrated character.

Page Springs 2007 La Serrana Viognier (Cochise County)
-
$30
Rich orange, lemon and citrus spices lead this Viognier from Page Springs. On the palate, it’s fuller bodied, with lots of spice and citrus to balance out the honeyed fruit. Pair with cheese, fruit and spicy cuisine.
