Casa Rondeña Winery 2007 Viognier (New Mexico)
- $20
The nose on this wine is instantly exciting, with its playful, floral and fresh character. On the palate, honeyed spice stays light and lively, with a lingering finish. A good white that will pair well with spicy cuisine—think Indian, Chinese or Thai.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2005 Meritage (New Mexico)
- $23
This wine has an elegant edge, with its hints of tea, spice and mint on the nose and its pleasant, harmonious plum and red berry flavors on the palate. Easy to drink and food-pairing friendly.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc (New Mexico)
- $20
An appealing nose of pepper and chocolate lead to raspberry and spice flavors that are balanced by medium tannins and an acidity that offers a mineral spin. Good and accessible.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2004 Cabernet Franc (New Mexico)
- $20
A very appealing nose of bright cherry and spice is followed by flavors of tea, spice and red berry in the mouth. Good body and tannins and a lingering finish make it a unique choice from a somewhat unknown region.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2006 Calvin Clarion Red (New Mexico)
- $28
A plucky nose of fruitcake and spice leads off. On the palate, good, robust red fruit, a solid, dry and minerally backbone and a touch of oak offer dimension and balance. A bit rough and ready, the wine will benefit from pairing with grilled meats or spicy dishes that can match its energy.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2004 Meritage Red (New Mexico)
- $23
A blend of 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux-style red is rich but not overpowering, with aromas and flavors of cedar, toast, tobacco and red berry. Tannins are gentle and the finish lingering. Not much flavor unfolding but still a good effort that will pair nicely with red meat and roasted chicken.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2005 Calvin Clarion Red (New Mexico)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A pretty floral nose and appetizing, juicy flavors of jammy fruit should recommend this wine, but there’s a bitterness on the midplate and finish that make the wine a touch too angular. Pair with food to even it out.

Casa Rondeña Winery 2006 Meritage White Sauvignon Blanc (New Mexico)
- $16
This blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc tends on the sweet side, but it offers appealing flavors of vanilla and tropical fruit. An enjoyable, approachable wine.
