Monte Rosso

2008 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Louis M. Martini Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2008 vintage showcases the rich and vibrant character typical of Sonoma Valley. This captivating red wine displays a full body that envelops the palate, complemented by pronounced acidity that adds a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is remarkable, with bold notes of black currant, blackberry, and subtle hints of dark chocolate that create a harmonious complexity. Tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure without overshadowing the wine's inherent fruitiness. The overall profile leans towards being dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes. This wine is a testament to the craftsmanship and unique terroir of the Monte Rosso vineyard, offering an exquisite tasting experience.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
