2021 Mountain Cuvée 1.5L
Sonoma ValleyWe are pleased to present the 2021 Mountain Cuvée, crafted to satisfy the contemplative connoisseur, yet approachable for the casual imbiber, and, affordable for all the above. Now available in large formats.
Tasting NOTES
A Bordeaux-obsessed blend featuring layer upon layer of ripe fruit - think boysenberry, cranberry and pomegranate - followed by a hint of toasty oak. Our Mountain Cuvée is a medium-bodied, red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot packed with juicy red fruit, black currants and and a dark chocolate finish. Were getting silky tannins. Hints of oak and cedar. And an elegant structure with a finish thats a real crowd-pleaser. Enjoy it on its own or paired up with something as perfectly unassuming as the wine (we especially love it with backyard burgers).
92 Points "Stand out scents of dark chocolate and blackberry cobbler. Rich and found with supple tannins and a dusty mouthfeel." Tasting Panel, 2021 Vintage
90 Points "Velvety in texture and full in body...it is quietly powerful and its rich chocolaty character lingers on the finish." Wine Enthusiast, 2021 Vintage
Vineyard NOTES
