2021 Louis M. Martini Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley

“This pre-release bottle tastes so tight and intense with very firm tannins, vivid acidity and bracing bright red fruits, together with savory, cedary accents and minty, bay-leaf and earth nuances. It’s built for the long haul, but so fresh, appetizing and focused that it’s approachable now. Full-bodied. Best from 2028.” – Jim Gordon Review Date: May 2024
