Vinos de los Muertos La Sangre
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and Ruby Red
Tasting Notes: Crafted as a celebration of life and a reminder of our mortality, this ‘Vino’ melds dark and light into one. An altar of violets and cherries exhumes dark fruit and spice into brighter spirits as it finishes smooth, lingering in remembrance.
A slightly spiced, peppery wine with cherry accents and light leather notes.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Hervé and Danielle Lescombes built their first winery in Chablis in the Burgundy region of France in 1967. In 1981, the family moved to the American Southwest, and by 1984 they had bottled their first vintage. The winery is located in the Mimbres Valley, just outside of Deming, New Mexico.
Now Florent and Emmanuel, representing the sixth generation of winemakers, are carrying on their family’s tradition. With 200 acres of vineyards located in the high desert of the Pyramid Valley, just outside Lordsburg, New Mexico, they found the ideal climate and soil to grow the best quality grapes. Their state-of-the-art winery produces more than 40 wines.
The Lescombes produce full-bodied, French oak-aged reds, crisp aromatic whites, and exquisite sparkling wines from more than 30 grape varieties, including Cantina Sangria.
