Dos Cabezas Pink- what is the blend? where it is from?

Sonoita
Equal parts Grenache Blanc, Verdelho, Symphony (Muscat x Grenache Blanc), Marsanne and Roussanne. Unfiltered, completely barrel-fermented, 13% new French oak. Discreet aromas of almond paste, lemon and spiced apple. Round with nice textural sweetness. Lemon cream flavor lingers.
Dos Cabezas Red blend
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
Cochise County: light ruby in color, with the aromas of clean, bright, chalky red-berry fruit with some dark cherry. The taste has very good character and balance. The winemaking is clean and the palate is refreshingly youthful. This is a good sipping red.
