2023 Mountain Cuvée
Sonoma ValleyBordeaux-Inspired Red Blend | Crafted to satisfy the contemplative connoisseur, yet approachable for the casual imbiber, and, affordable for all the above.
Tasting NOTES
The 2023 Mountain Cuvee presents as a love letter to Bordeaux grapes a medium-bodied red blend with complex and distinct layers of red fruit and cedar. Star anise, cinnamon stick and oregano oil on the nose give way to notes of unsweetened chilled cherry galette, raspberry preserve and woodsy boysenberry. Best paired with a Wood Grilled Porkchop drenched in rosemary butter, a traditional Mediterranean Lamb Kofta with humas on fresh pita, or a Mushroom al Pastor.
Vineyard NOTES
Relying on the Bundschu Familys 160+ years of Sonoma vineyard knowledge, the grapes for Mountain Cuvée are sourced from our organically-farmed Rhinefarm estate as well as hand-selected fruit from sustainable vineyards along the Mayacamas Mountain range near our home ranch
