Viva La Roja
Heart of the Desert Viva La Roja is a full-bodied blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Muscat grapes. This rich dinner wine is sweet and fruity, with notes of dark cherry, pomegranate, and strawberry, balanced by floral notes from the Muscat grapes. This particular flavor profile makes this red an effective cooling complement to spicy foods. Heart of the Desert Viva La Roja is delicious on its own, but it also makes a great sangria or wine slushie due to its natural sweetness. It’s low in tannins, so its texture doesn’t linger on your tongue like some reds can. Because of this, it works well with cream sauces and buttery dishes as it doesn’t clash with their fatty textures. We prefer serving this wine slightly chilled, but many folks also enjoy it at room temperature.
