2020 Louis M. Martini "Monte Rosso Vineyard" Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

A beautiful, polished and elegant wine with vivid red fruit, cedar, bay leaf and faint leathery, gamey nuances that add nice complexity. Energized acidity, moderate tannins and a sleek texture. The famous wildfires and smoke didn’t affect this harmonious and well-balanced wine. Drink or hold.

Beautiful and classic mountain Cabernet aromas of currant, blackberry, pencil shavings and mint leaf waft from the glass. The palate brings a powerful structure balanced by vibrant acidity and gobs of ripe black cherry, blueberry and raspberry fruit. There's tons to love about this wine here and now, but this will age gracefully for well over a decade. *Cellar Selection* (TRC)
