2019 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
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Proprietary Red Blend Gravity, primarily Syrah with a touch of Viognier and Zinfandel, comes mostly from the Monte Rosso Vineyard. It has an opaque ruby-purple color and intense, aromatic layers of wild berry and blueberry jam, tar, apricot, aniseed, mint leaves and violet. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and ripe, with a surprisingly silky texture and loads of spicy accents fanning out on the long finish. This lush, hedonistic blend deserves another 3-5 years in bottle."
Wine Enthusiast - "This concentrated, deep and well-layered wine made from Syrah, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Viognier is absolutely drenched in ripe black fruits laced with tempting mint, clove and tobacco nuances. It is complex, velvety in texture and remarkably flavorful, ending with a lingering finish."
