At 1000’ elevation in the Mayacamas Mountains, Monte Rosso saw more sun throughout the growing season than many valley floor vineyards. Hence, when the temperature climbed to over 110? F on August 24th, the fruit was better acclimatized and experienced much less burn and shrivel than other vineyards. Twenty percent new French oak. Bottled unfiltered but given a light egg white fining to polish the mountain tannins. A fabulous Zinfandel and a resounding success for any vintage!
