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.
Blend: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec
90 James Suckling Aromas of dark fruit, dried herbs, plums, violets, tobacco leaves, black and red fruit and a hint of graphite. The tannins are abundant but not aggressive. Full-bodied and very satisfying.
