2016 Mount Peak Winery 'Gravity' Red Blend California

Winemaker Notes - The Gravity Red Blend is named for a remote, hard-to-reach block on the Monte Rosso Vineyard. Its location on the edge of a canyon and its steepness produces grapes with exceptional intensity. Five varieties—Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache—create a vivid expression of the power and depth of the vineyard.

This dark, dense wine is layered with black cherry, plum and blackberry tones and hints of cocoa powder and coffee. The full-body and luscious mouthfeel are framed by assertive tannins and a long, concentrated finish with truffle, caramel and toasty oak.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This is very characteristic with iodine, oyster-shell and very intense dried-blueberry notes. Medium to full body, ripe tannins, loads of fresh fruit and a fun, fruity finish. Drink now."


Wine Enthusiast - "This dark and brooding wine has an inky color, rich aromas of blueberry and blackberry jam, and an intense, layered texture of fine-grained tannins that envelope ripe dark-fruit flavors. It is full bodied, bold and flavorful. Best through 2023 "
