Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvee (2023)

The 2023 Mountain Cuvee presents as a love letter to Bordeaux grapes a medium-bodied red blend with complex and distinct layers of red fruit and cedar. Star anise, cinnamon stick and oregano oil on the nose give way to notes of unsweetened chilled cherry galette, raspberry preserve and woodsy boysenberry.

Best paired with a wood grilled porkchop drenched in rosemary butter, a traditional Mediterranean lamb kofta with humas on fresh pita, or a mushroom al pastor.

Blend: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec
