Casa Madero

3V Valle de Parras Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Casa Madero – V.3 Red Blend 2013
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tempranillo – Valle de Parras, Coahuila, Mexico 🇲🇽

Overview
Casa Madero holds a unique place in wine history as the oldest winery in the Americas, established in 1597. The V.3 is a flagship blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Tempranillo, showcasing the depth and elegance of Valle de Parras, one of Mexico’s most historic and promising wine regions.

Aromas & Flavors
Dark berries, plum, and cassis layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice. With age, tertiary notes of dried fig, cocoa, and leather add complexity.

Mouthfeel
Rounded and balanced, the 2013 vintage has matured beautifully. Polished tannins integrate seamlessly with a silky texture, giving both structure and finesse. The finish is long, smooth, and deeply satisfying.

Winemaking Notes
Aged in oak, this wine reflects both modern technique and centuries of winemaking heritage. Casa Madero’s use of high-altitude vineyards allows vibrant acidity to balance richness, a hallmark of its style.

Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled ribeye, lamb shanks, or mole negro. For a more traditional match, pair with carne asada or aged Mexican cheeses.

Verdict
A remarkable red blend that not only delivers balance and longevity but also carries the weight of history. The 2013 still shows vitality, proving how Mexican fine wines can age gracefully.

Personal Pick Highlight
Tasting Casa Madero feels like stepping into history — each glass connects back to 1597, when New World winemaking was just beginning. An unforgettable blend of heritage and pleasure. Cheers!

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

5 years is a great spot for this. It's inky and clings to the glass. Blackberry, cherry, cocoa, mint, graphite. Decent structure, it punches above its weight class. I'd do it again, especially with tri-tip.
Listening to The Pixies.

Amore! Can hardly wait to open another bottle, and I’ll definitely be ordering many more from Molesini Wine. On the nose, overripe blackberry, and hopeful hints of leather. So beautifully balanced and smooth. — 12 days ago

Medium to fuller body with jammy berry notes. Some cherry toward the finish, smooth mouthfeel opens to longer tannins on the finish. An enjoyable every day wine that drinks a hair more elegantly. — a month ago

Brings to mind Thompson Seedless raisins. Like a port in table wine form. If you’re at a Bonpreu, this may be your safest bet amongst the reds. — 14 days ago

Casa Piena

Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Best Cabernet I've had to date. Pricey, worth it. Second would be Heitz C91.
This Thomas Rivers Brown masterpiece is like sinking into a well loved leather clad Attorondak and being hugged by boysenberry, cassis, earl gray, coffee, cream, graphite and baking spice. All in perfect harmony. An incredible wine from Napa that makes me realize it's significance in producing A+ fruit, with A+ execution from a master.
