LOUIS M. MARTINI CABERNET SAUVIGNON MONTE ROSSO VINEYA - 750ml

Short Description

Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley, 2002An absolutely outrageous wine and probably one of the great all-time Cabernet Sauvignons from Sonoma is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard Sonoma Valley. This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the relatively recent Moon Mountain AVA, that aged for 27 months in 67% new French and 14 % new American oak. This is a wine of thrilling levels of intensity, with an incredible fragrance of spring flowers, blue fruits, black fruits, especially crème de cassis and blackberry, loamy soil undertones, and a touch of licorice and smoke. The wine is full-bodied, with magnificent fruit intensity and purity, loads of glycerin (15. 5% alcohol) and a finish of a good 40+ seconds. This is a great bottle of wine that can still be purchased for less than $100. 00, which is increasingly rare in Northern California. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040.Nestled in the majestic Mayacamas Mountain range 1, 000 feet above the Sonoma Valley is a vineyard that has produced 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 truly memorable wines with a unique sense of terroir. Three generations of Martini winemakers have worked these mineral rich soils and deep-rooted old vines to produce wines worthy of the name Monte Rosso. We are proud to share with you our latest Cabernet Sauvignon from Monte Rosso and hope you enjoy this taste of our family history. Warnings Contains sulfites.
