$200.59 $171.49 price per bottle
Nestled in the majestic Mayacamas Mountain range nearly 1,000 feet above the Sonoma Valley is a vineyard that has produced award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon for three generations. Owned by the Louis M. Martini winery since 1938, the Monte Rosso vineyard (named "Monte Rosso” or "Red Mountain” for its rich, red volcanic soils) is a steep and rugged mountain vineyard with a desirable western exposure that produces wines with a unique sense of terroir. Wine maker notes Harvest took place during the early morning hours in order to keep the fruit as cool as possible. The grapes were sorted and destemmed, but not crushed, leaving more than 90% whole berries in the fermenter. For maximum extraction of color and flavor, the must was in contact with the skins for 15-30 days; thus contributing to greater extraction of black, dark, violet hues that visually hint at the depth and flavor of the wine. After primary fermentation was complete, 100% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to round out the mouthfeel. The wine was racked as needed, and aged 27 months in French and New American Oak.
Producer For more than 75 years, the Martini family winemakers have crafted world-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the exceptional vineyards of Sonoma and Napa counties. Louis M. Martini embodied a simple, honest premise: The best grapes make the best wines. Today, Michael Martini, third-generation winemaker carries on this tradition at the historic winery in Napa Valley with his range of unforgettable Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
