2020 Mountain Cuvée
Sonoma CountyBordeaux-Inspired Blend | Crafted to satisfy the contemplative connoisseur, yet approachable for the casual imbiber, and, affordable for all the above.
Tasting NOTES
Starring Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this expertly crafted Bordeaux-inspired red blend delivers plush, red fruit flavors of fleshy plum, red currant and a hint of lingonberry. Well-structured elements of cranberry and dried herbs marry on the mid palate as effortless tannins lead to a smooth finish marked by hints of vanilla oak. This smooth operator is a balanced and perfect companion to a Tuesday night in or a Friday night out. Where you take it is up to you.
Vineyard NOTES
Relying on the Bundschu Familys 160+ years of Sonoma vineyard knowledge, the grapes for Mountain Cuvée are sourced from our Rhinefarm estate, as well as fruit hand-selected from vineyards along the Mayacamas Mountain range.
