Estate grown Pinot Noir grapes, great harvest, over 100 cases made. Light bodied with bright raspberry & soft tannins. Finishes smooth with a touch of earth.

Estrella Del Norte Vineyard Founders Blend
This full bodied Bordeaux style red wine is blended with Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and New Mexico grown Cabernet Franc. A lush and heavy red blend with raspberry, blackberry, spices & chocolate. Named “Founders Blend” because of the estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and the limited supply. Less than 30 cases available.
Suggested pairing: A nice steak with a rich sauce.
Estrella Del Norte Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Like a starry Northern New Mexico evening, this wine is rich with deep currants and brilliant notes of black cherry, spicy clove and oak. Enjoy with a fine dinner and special someone. Elegante y Sabroso!
