Caduceus Dos Ladrones is a distinctive white blend crafted by Maynard James Keenan, renowned frontman of the band Tool. This exceptional wine is sourced from the high-altitude Eliphante block at 3,350 feet in Yavapai County, Arizona, a region known for its unique terroir that imparts vibrant freshness and complexity.
Composed of an equal blend of 50% Malvasia and 50% Chardonnay, this wine offers a bright and fruit-forward profile. The nose is elegantly aromatic, presenting enticing notes of jasmine and stonefruit that invite you in with subtle floral and fruity nuances.
On the palate, Dos Ladrones is bone dry and impeccably clean, delivering crisp flavors of tangerine, apricot, and peach. These vibrant fruit flavors are beautifully framed by a delicate hint of almond, adding depth and a refined finish. The combination of varietals and the high-altitude vineyard site creates a wine that is both refreshing and complex, ideal for those seeking an elegant white blend with distinctive character.
This wine exemplifies the innovative spirit of Arizona winemaking, where elevation and climate contribute to producing grapes with exceptional intensity and balance. Caduceus Dos Ladrones is perfect for pairing with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, or enjoying on its own as a sophisticated aperitif.
