Neon Road Red Blend
Neon Road Red Blend
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Route 66
Bold, vibrant, and unmistakably New Mexican, Neon Road is a tribute to the spirit of Route 66—timeless, adventurous, and full of character. Crafted from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano, Cinsault, and Leon Millot, this distinctive blend brings together structure, depth, and bright fruit in perfect harmony. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and ripe raspberry are layered with violet, baking spice, and subtle cocoa. The palate is rich yet energetic, revealing waves of dark berries, plum, and juicy red fruit supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of cedar, mocha, and warm spice add complexity, leading to a smooth, memorable finish. Like the Mother Road itself, Neon Road is a journey—bold, colorful, and made to be shared.
