2021 Descendientes de Charles Martínez Ensamble de la Familia
The 2021 Ensamble de la Familia is a soulful red blend that serves as a tribute to heritage and the enduring influence of the women within the Martínez family. Sourced from the high-elevation Valle de Ojos Negros in Baja California, Mexico, this wine highlights the extraordinary potential of this unique terroir. A significant portion of the fruit comes from CCOF-certified organic vineyards, ensuring a pure expression of the land and a commitment to sustainable viticulture.
Crafted with precision, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of new and second-use American oak barrels, followed by an additional six months of bottle aging before release. The result is a concentrated, structured red that balances intensity with elegance.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: The nose opens with a vibrant bouquet of fresh raspberries and ripe plums. These primary fruit notes are gracefully interwoven with delicate layers of vanilla, subtle toast from the American oak, and a whisper of warm spice.
- Palate: The entry is inviting and smooth, characterized by a honeyed texture and creamy tannins. Fresh acidity brightens the wine’s concentrated structure, revealing abundant flavors of red and dark forest fruits.
- Finish: Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, the finish is long and poised, leaving a lasting impression of finesse. Character: A sophisticated and versatile "Ensamble" that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or aged cheeses.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
