"Guadalupe is the northernmost valley in Baja California, two hours south of San Diego. That's where the tempranillo, merlot, syrah, grenache and viognier has been grown for this eclectic blend. It's so ripe it's almost port-like, with chocolate and strawberry notes built into a dense, fat texture supported by sweet, round tannins. Slightly chilled, it would be a good match for chile con carne."

A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
