2017 Mounts Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Dry Creek Valley
Tasting Notes
Beautiful and robust with aromas of black current, black cherry, and truffles. It has a trace of graphite and chocolate in the background. Flavors of blackberry and caramel swirl lavishly on your palate. Tannins are polished and firm helping to create a long and seductive finish.Vineyard Designation
