A blend of Syrah and Grenache with a deep garnet-purple color, the 2018 Mountain Red Monte Rosso Vineyard offers up fragrant scents of stewed plums, blackberry compote and black cherries with hints of licorice, tar and unsmoked cigars plus a waft of lilacs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruit and savory layers and supported by ripe rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a peppery note. 730 cases were made.
