Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard 2008
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesMonte Rosso vineyard or Red Mountain has been a Louis Marini family jewel since the late 1930s set some 330 metres above Sonoma Valley in the Mayacamas Mountain range. The soils are volcanic red and rich that best describes this highly desirable red wine. Using the best blocks the folks at Gallo have really emphasized the red fruits and chocolate and the surprisingly soft and dusty mountain tannins. This is a perfect match for lamb or beef and or you can drink it now or over the next five years.Tasted: 12 January 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $105.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
