Historic Vineyard, Exceptional Value
2008 Blagden "Monte Rosso Vineyard" Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (Winery Direct Library Release)
(Elsewhere $80) ($29.95)

Here's a rare opportunity to acquire a perfectly aged Cabernet from one of California's most famous and historic vineyards. The 2008 Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet from Blagden is stunning right now, perfectly situated in its sweet spot of development. The buoyant, rich red fruit remains vibrant, beautifully interwoven with complex, savory secondary characteristics developed through bottle aging.

Monte Rosso was first planted in the 1880s, high on Moon Mountain above Sonoma Valley, and is renowned for its distinctive iron-rich, volcanic red soils scattered with basalt boulders. The block selected for this bottling features a historic heritage clone of Cabernet, sourced directly from ancient vines unique to this celebrated site.

This wine showcases a wonderful combination of dusty red berries, redcurrant, plum, warm earth, leather, hints of briar patch, cedar, and chaparral. The primary fruit continues to shine brightly, enhanced by intricate aromas and flavors from bottle maturity, adding considerable depth and complexity at 17 years of age. Gracefully aged yet vibrant, it promises many more years of enjoyment. It's truly special to have access to a wine with this level of maturity, impeccable winery-direct provenance, and exceptional pricing. Enjoy over the next 5–8 years alongside a grilled rack of lamb.
