10% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah
dark green volcanic rock formed deep within the earth's crust—heavily layered with a topsoil of clay and silty sand
with a lovely cherry blossom character on the mid palate and impressive persistence
Where Falstaff is Jamie Kutch's coolest and most extreme expression
Chateau Montrose 2005 1.5L Pinot Noir 10% Mourvedre and 10% SyrahCritic tasting note: (2005 vintage) "Powerful, concentrated, deep, long, intense, youthful, and tannic, there is a strong backbone here that will allow this to age gracefully for 2 3 decades with ease. But it is not ready to go at this point. So, either give it 2 hours of air, or wait 5 10 more years." 96 100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
