Monte Rosso Vineyard Moon Mountain District Sonoma
Enjoyabilityfactor 97 Rating
The essence of the historic Monte Rosso Vineyard's bright red volcanic soils appeared to be magically carried over into the aromatics and color of the wine during fermentation. However, post elevage and assemblage, the wine transmogrified itself into a cabernet of blue/black complexion. The aromatics are effusive of freshly baked mixed berry pie, cinnamon, allspice, bayleaf, and sweet cacaoa nibs from the 60% new French Oak barrels. On the palate, this wine is probably the least tannic in our entire portfolio of Cabernets. The pedigree of the Monte Rosso vineyard, especially considering the difficult growing conditions of the 2020 vintage, is exemplified by the intensity of fruit and electric minerality. The wine's extended finish is enveloped with a welcoming intensity of medium-fine tannin.
Must be ordered.

Description

317 cases produced. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the newest brand of Marc and Michael. Previously the brand was all about 4 historic Cab vineyards in Napa Valley, all planted in the 1800’s. These included some Beckstoffer vineyards, as well as the very 1st vineyard ever planted in Calistoga. The 2020 fires caused a need to pivot and there was the Monte Rosso vineyard, planted in 1886 and still with some original rootstock Cab vines! Monte Rosso is technically the Sonoma side of Mount Veeder. If you’re a Napa Cab fan and haven’t driven into Sonoma versions, trying this one made by an ex Screaming Eagle/Bryant Family winemaker might make you not go back to Napa.
