Burgess Cellars Mountaineer Red Blend Howell Mountain 2014
The Mountaineer is inspired by the historic cuvées of Bordeaux, where vignerons blended Syrah from the legendary hill of Hermitage with Cabernet Sauvignon from the Médoc. Syrah’s black olive and smoked meat notes are polished and refined by the graceful structure of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Complex aromas of boysenberry, gravel, earth and bouquet garni with red fruit essence that continually changes in the glass. Oceans of blueberry are the base of this full palate wine with cherry, raspberry, cola, cocoa, anise and strawberry notes. Savory, briary, dried flowers, full bodied and rich on the finish, this wine is incredibly smooth with good acidity. Blend 46% Syrah, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Petite Sirah.
