This is mountain cuvée Rhinefarm vineyard Sonoma Valley. 69% Merlot, 27% Cabernet, 4% Franc. Long ago in a far away land I was a club member at GunBun. I really enjoyed the wines made there by Linda Trotta. This is my last bottle. Back in the day when they were allowed to call it Mountain Cuvée. 2001 was a cool tannic year and this represents the vintage, but it’s one of the reasons that’s it’s holding up this long. You’d never guess 2001. Dark red color, fruit and tannins with a smooth finish. This is old school in a very good way. — a year ago

This 2019 is a bit of an untamed stallion, big flavors , a little wild, off balance but bold and impressive. A pint of wild Maine blueberries sitting on vine stems in the forest. Probably could use a few more years, but very interesting now. — 2 years ago

Linear spicy blackberry smoky little barnyard - great acid and a decent backbone. Refreshing contrast to RRV — 2 years ago
