St. Clair Cabernet Sauvignon
Our St. Clair Cabernet Sauvignon earned a Gold medal. This initially shy wine, given ample time to aerate, opens up into a rustic, hearty wine with a nose of dark chocolate and raspberries with a hint of oak and a flavor profile dominated by cranberries and a touch of oak. A punch of acid and moderate tannins offer structure. This is a powerful wine, fit for savory meat dishes and robust, spicy cuisine.
St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly White
Our St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly White received a Gold Medal. A fun, easy-drinking white wine with a sparkly sweetness. A gentle nose of Moscato, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, and pears reflect the beautiful flavor profile you’ll find.
St. Clair Brut
Our St. Clair Brut was awarded a Silver medal. This wine is crisp and dry, as you expect with a nice bubbly wine. The color is light, almost translucent with fine, soft bubbles. The taste is yeasty, crisp, and mildly acidic. Perfect for any celebration.
St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly Red
Our St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly Red earned a Silver medal. We took New Mexico’s best selling wine and added bubbles to celebrate! Mimbres Bubbly Red is a dark, cherry red wine rich with honey, vanilla, blackberry, Moscato, and light spices folded together, resulting in sweet, sparkly perfection.
St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly Pink
Our St. Clair Mimbres Bubbly Pink was awarded a Silver medal. It’s a fun, fruity, and easy-drinking rosé wine with a sparkly sweetness. A perfumed nose of Moscato, strawberry, orange blossom, and pomegranate reflect the beautiful flavor profile.
St. Clair Merlot
Our St. Clair Merlot received a Silver medal. our Merlot is dry with slight mineral notes with roasted walnut, toast, and oak accents. Though reminiscent of the flavor profile, the nose is made more complex with a medley of ripe blackberry.
St. Clair Pinot Grigio
Our St. Clair Pinot Grigio was awarded a Silver medal. A crisp, light-bodied wine with a delightful profile of peach and honeydew.
St. Clair Chardonnay
Our St. Clair Chardonnay was awarded a Silver medal. This subtle Chardonnay delivers a light punch of acidity that lights up the palate in an unobtrusive manner, before melting away to flavors of brown sugar and apple cider.
