Tasting Notes For Mount Peak Gravity Red Blend 2017The Mount Peak story begins more than a century ago at the celebrated Monte Rosso Vineyard and culminates with the revival of Mount Peak Winery, a vestige of one of California’s ghost wineries. Our wines are inspired by this great place, and we pay tribute to the extraordinary winery that once stood there by capturing its enduring spirit in our wine.Gravity Red Blend is named for a remote, hard-to-reach block on one of the lowest slopes of the Monte Rosso Vineyard.Five varietals—Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache—lend power and depth to this red blend. The wine is layered with concentrated notes of black cherry plum, black cherry, plum, blackberry and hints of cocoa powder and coffee. Woven together are layers of black truffle, caramel and toasty oak with assertive tannins and a long, concentrated finish.Critic RatingsJames Suckling Review - Published February 14, 2020 – Rated 92:Lots of rich and luscious fruit with soft, silky tannins that are bold and rich.
