RATINGS

98Wine Enthusiast

Effusively floral and fruity on the nose, this mountain-grown wine showcases violet, cherry blossom and dusty tannin, its core layered and textured with sidenotes of toasted oak and clove.

97Vinous / IWC

...heroic, explosive wine that captures all the best qualities this Moon Mountain site has to offer... Iron, smoke, incense, wild cherry, tobacco, licorice and wild cherry soar out of the glass.

96James Suckling

Crushed blueberries, blackcurrants, pine cones, stones, cedar, chocolate and walnuts on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm, round and velvety tannins. Creamy texture. Juicy, supple and caressing. Fascinating evolution of the fruit to herbs and stones.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma County, Moon Mountain

Moon Mountain AVA earned its official status as an American Viticultural Area in 2013. The Moon Mountain district is a sub-appellation of Sonoma Valley, and has long been considered a prestigious address for vineyards. At the relatively high level of 400 to 2.700 feet above sea level, the 17,633-acre AVA is on the western slope of the Mayacamas Mountains. About 2,000 acres within the AVA are planted to vineyards. The climate benefits from constant breezes from the bay as well as sunshine, since the area is above the fog line. Grapes grown in the AVA are primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, with some Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
