While Californian winemakers "Crafted around a core of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2007 Mountain Cuvee is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Aromas of plum, fig, and cherry-cola lead to similar flavors that coat the palate. A full, round, and juicy mouth-feel give the wine a seamless quality. With tannins tucked into the body of the wine, a strawberry essence lingers on the finish.pens notes of blackberry, cherry and cassis, this wine is full-bodied. Hints of chocolate and espresso layer with spicy oak for added complexity.

Smooth tannins infused with ripe sweet fruit create a lush, supple texture. Waves of berry, spice and herbs create a lasting impression of finesse and structure in this Cabernet. This is the wine to choose when you?re looking for vivid, mouth-filling fruit flavors. Our Mountain Cuvee is a winemaker?s blend that beautifully expresses the distinctive qualities of the traditional Bordeaux varietals, and is crafted for early consumption. Each component making up the cuvee contributes nuances that mingle with and complement each other. The result is a complex array of aromas and flavors that deliver pure pleasure in a glass."
