Very solid cab, a bit more constrained as is typical for Sonoma. Subtle tannins and good acidity. Bright red fruit. Very versatile wine.

rich and ripe aroma of red & black cherries and currants, vanilla, violet. Ripe, jammy, fruit-roll-upy fruit on palate, medium+ body, smooth tannins. Punchy alcohol.

Fabulous. If you’re still drinking Napa cab you’re missing out on glorious sonoma cab particularly from moon mtn. Richard arrowood is a master and damn I wish I had bought more of this wine. Drinking so good now it has another 5-10 years easy.

Recommend a decant or a couple more years in bottle, and this is from someone who likes Cabs on the younger side.

2012 vintage. Opaque garnet, full bodied. Blackfruit, currant, spice, earth, tobacco notes. Balanced tannins, long finish. Awesome!
