Crafted around a core of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2007 Mountain Cuvee is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Aromas of plum, fig, and cherry-cola lead to similar flavors that coat the palate. A full, round, and juicy mouth-feel give the wine a seamless quality. With tannins tucked into the body of the wine, a strawberry essence lingers on the finish.
A dry, warm spring in 2007 resulted in early budding, bloom, and set up on Pritchard Hill. The summer growing season was decidedly on the mild-to-cool side with few heat spikes. There was an initial flurry of harvest activity around Labor Day, but then temperatures cooled, which allowed picking to proceed at an even pace.
