2007 Monte Rosso Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon
Nestled in the majestic Mayacamas Mountain range nearly 1,000 feet above the Sonoma Valley, is a vineyard that has been producing award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon for three generations. Owned by the Louis M. Martini Winery since 1938, the Monte Rosso vineyard (named "Monte Rosso" or "Red Mountain" for its rich, red volcanic soils) is a steep and rugged mountain vineyard with a desirable western exposure that produces wines with a unique sense of terroir.

In The Vineyard
The 2007 growing season in Sonoma began with a dry summer with no rain to threaten rot or mildew. In addition, the classic morning fog made a frequent appearance but burned off by the early afternoon. This gave the grapes the best of both worlds: warm sunshine to develop ripe flavors, and cool temperatures to maintain acidity in the fruit. The 2007 weather was balanced; there were no major heat spells or cold snaps, just steady, cool-climate temperatures that created a perfect environment for growing world-class grapes.
