About

Our Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon was handcrafted from grapes 100 percent from the legendary Monte Rosso Vineyard. This is an impressive red wine with great depth and a surprisingly soft mouthfeel for such concentrated fruit. It swirls with aromas that include cherry liqueur, earth and the classic Monte Rosso spice. On the palate, the wine offers black cherry, raspberry, black fig, plus more red and dark fruit flavors, all layered over hints of dusty chocolate. Aging in French and American Oak created assertive-but-velvety tannins that melt seamlessly into a long, elegant finish filled with anise, cedar and vanilla flavors. The 2013 growing season on the Mayacamas and at Monte Rosso was another excellent year in a string of great vintages. The spring was mild and dry, summer was consistently warm but not extremely hot, and fall stayed dry through harvest. That long, consistent hang time allowed for wonderful fruit development, and the mix of steady warm sun and cool nights gave the fruit vibrant color, excellent acidity, intense fruit flavors and rich texture. The Cabernet grapes for this wine were carefully hand harvested and hand sorted, then cold soaked for up to three days before being gravity fed into 3.5 ton and 7-ton open top fermenters. After primary fermentation, free run juice was drained and the must gently pressed in a 5-ton basket press. The wine was racked by gravity into oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, then aged in separate lots for up to 26 months in French and American oak barrels (72% new French, 16% new American, 12% neutral barrels). The final blend was assembled, then sent back to barrel to allow the flavors to integrate before bottling.
